And I'm looking for some yummy alternatives for my son's lunchbox this school year.

I just made them again myself today. I used nectarines that had a bunch of over ripe spots (cut out of course) and apples that had gone all wrinkly. . . Came out yum all mixed together and cooked down w/a bit of sugar. Glad you enjoyed them. I just made them again myself today.

There is enough butter in these that it isn't a problem :)<br /><br />rmlrhonda-they would be great w/rhubarb. I can't wait till next year when I'm allowed to pick my rhubarb-I just transplated some from a friend last year, and you are supposed to let it grow the first year to help the roots :( <br /><br />Steph-thanks for the stumble!<br /><br />Mortgage-Ahh, I hoe yours came out well.<br /><br />Carrie-so glad you were able to adapt the recipe so easily to your family's needs. Gotta love a recipe that works that way! TWS-they are yummy!

Made these, sans fruit since my guys don't eat fruit unless it's cobbler with ice cream! I added about 3/4 c. chopped pecans and about 1/2 to 3/4 c. Sugar Free maple syrup (I wasn't measuring, just squirching the last bit out of the bottle, and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon to oatmeal mixture, put in pan and baked according to directions. Yummy. Oh, and used gluten-free flour, too, and Splenda brown sugar. Very tasty...got the hubs seal of approval.<br />Thanks Jenn. I'll bet it's great with fruit, too! Awesome, and so easy to adapt.

I was so inspired with how you saved all of your food. I am sure you were tired at the end of that day. Question: Did you grease your pan before pressing in the oat mix? Sounds great.
