It's a Breakfast Bar kind of day!

Logan has the day off today! I must say, I've missed him. We have a pretty fun weekend ahead of us, so I'm alright with kind of laying low today. This morning I made his favorite bars. I'm going to post the recipe because they are SO GOOD! Seriously, the kids polished off an entire pan. 

A 9x9 pan, but still! Here it is:

Preheat the oven to 350

Combine:

1/2 c brown sugar

1 c flour (OR I do 1/2 c flour, 1/2 c wheat germ.)

1/4 t baking soda

dash of salt

1 c rolled oats (you can even use 2 packs of instant oatmeal)

Blend these with

1/2 c butter softened or melted. Either works.

I also throw in about 1/3 c of Milled Flax Seed

Spread 2 cups of this mixture on the bottom of a greased 9x9 pan

Now for the fruity filling.

1 c whatever berry or fruit you have. I've used blues, raspberries, strawberries... or you can use jelly!

Spread the filling in the middle but keep about 3/4 of an inch away from the edge or it'll burn.

Sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture on top, press down ever so gently

Pop 'er in the oven for 35 minutes or so. It gets brown and crisp.

There you have it! Our breakfast fave! Logan likes it better than "Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Rolls and Caramel Rolls--Combined!"

As for the picture--I TRIED getting a shot of the finished product, but all I managed was Samma--before she finished off every crumb.
