My mom used to make these all the time for an afterschool snack, but she got it from a 1930's church cookbook. The basic recipe makes a nice simple sweet when eaten alone, but the possibilities are endless. I've mixed in chocolate chips, or dried fruit to make more of a granola bar. It is also nice served warm with ice cream.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups oatmeal
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, melt butter.
3. Mix in brown sugar.
4. Add oatmeal, salt and baking powder.
5. Press into an 8x8 baking dish.
6. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
7. Let cool before cutting into squares.
