Healthy Breakfast Cookie Bar Recipe

These things are absolutely awesome!  Virtually nothing in them that's unhealthy, everything proportioned just right.  The only suggestion I might make is to add some whey protein, just to give it a little more of a muscle building punch.  If I ever get around to experimenting with that I'll let you guys know how it goes.

But anyway, try these things out!  No sugar, and the delicious flavor of oats and raisins.  They're really moist too!

Oh and by the way I, The Food Guru, did what they forgot to do on the original site, calculate the caloric information!  For one 24th of this recipe (or one cookie bar), it's around 80 calories.  And there's no processed sugar in any of that, just sweet, natural honey!  YUM.
