The Very Best Oatmeal Raisin Bars

By

Hi, guys!

Back in 2008, just a few months after starting CNC, I created this recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Bars. That was more than 8 years ago, and I still make these bars over and over again. They’re truly a go-to recipe, and I often bring them to parties and other get-togethers because they’re super easy to make, don’t require a ton of ingredients, always turn out well, and everyone loves them!

And I especially love that these bars are totally customizable by swapping out the raisins for chocolate chips, dried cranberries, butterscotch chips (omg, so good!!), or adding shredded coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or whatever else your little heart desires.

Basically, the oatmeal bar base is the best thing ever and works well with just about any ingredient additions. The options are truly endless, and I hope this recipe becomes a favorite in your home, too!

  • 2 cups rolled or quick oats
  • 3/4 cup oat (or all-purpose) flour

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins (or whatever delicious ingredient you’d like to add)

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
