This has been on my recipe to-do list for a while now. An easy, healthy snack to bring on the go if I needed to. And to share with friends, of course. I also love recipes that are very customizable, you can add anything to this…within reason. Chris also really liked these, so I know they’re a good hit. Try this recipe out and play around with it, have fun! I got it from here, a famous blogger, but tweaked it for my own needs.
Square of happiness
- Serves: 9
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Baking Time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup turbinado sugar (I will probably play around with this one too–using honey or trying without!)
- 3/8 cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup dried cherries
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
- Grease up a baking pan that’s a few inches deep
- Mix up the wet ingredients first and then mix in the dry. Stir it up until smooth
- Scoop the smooth mixture into the baking pan and make even
Get ready to bake
- Pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Mine was ready in about 23 minutes. Let it cool for a bit and then cut into squares
Cut it up!
Yes, that’s how easy it is. I’m already planning to bake another batch tonight for the upcoming week. They are the perfect snack, below 250 calories and full of fiber and healthy fats. They’ll keep you satisfied for those busy hours when you don’t have time to put together a good snack or meal. And like I said, feel free to play around with it! I’m going to try chocolate chips, maybe throw some nuts in there, use honey instead of sugar, etc. Use this recipe to stay hungry and fit!

Those look like the PERFECT work or hike snack! With easy ingredients — do you think changing the sugar around would make much of a difference?
No, I don’t think so, was planning to do that myself
