- Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the oat bars to set, then cut into squares and enjoy! I also store these bars in the fridge as they become a bit soft if left at room temperature.

Loved your chocolate zucchini cake so we decided to try these oat bars. They’re quick, easy and delicious. We like them better than the oat bars from the store – and they’re less expensive. Yummy.
I’m happy you like them!
