Made as an after school snack kids loved them and so did husband dead easy to make too xx - 23 Sep 2010
Yummy! Perfect for kids and very simple to make. - 21 Sep 2012
simple, cheap, healthy, tasty! i soaked the oats for a couple hours in warm water beforehand, because the first time i made this, the oats were still somewhat dry/uncooked. i also added some dried berries i had in the pantry (raisins, blueberries, cranberries) they really made a difference. without the dried fruit, i'd imagine this to be a bit bland. also replaced the butter with applesauce. much more moist. and i didn't have wheat germ so i left that out. - 11 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
