Instead of butter, I used my favorite almond butter. It gives the oatmeal bars an amazing nutty and buttery taste. Moreover, I used maple syrup to sweeten the oatmeal bars.

All of these ingredients sound like the perfect combination of a healthy and satisfying breakfast, don’t they?

2. Perfect Healthy Snack and Dessert
