good Q schmoo! Ok I have 2 more! I'm making these tomorrow and I'm nervous I'm soo not a baker!
Has anyone doubled them? I figured since they freeze well I may as well make a big batch.
Also how do you check for sweetness? do you taste the batter? I know Dumb Q but AAAAAAAAAAH (I have an article deadline tonight and it's much easier to stress about oatmeal bars than editing 2 second drafts!) I'm probably going to use 2 bananas and at least 1/2 cup of regular NSA applesauce and 1/2 cup NSA berry apple sauce
thanks for listening to my rant!

I'm sorry, KO, I didn't know that you had a gastric bypass.  In your case the "quick" oatmeal would be a lot easier on your stomach! My BIL had one done about a year ago, so I understand what you're going through. He's doing fantastic, BTW! I hope you are coming along just fine, too.  I'm sure you can double the recipe, but I've never done it.
I usually add about 1/4 cup of the sf syrup to the recipe. I don't like them too sweet, and it's usually just right for me. They're on the moist side, but I cook them about 10-15 minutes longer and they turn out great.

Totally cool Lady  I neither broadcast it nor hide it. I'm not big on sweets so maybe the bananas and sauce will do it!

I've always kept mine either in the fridge or freezer, since they are moist and I'm afraid of them getting moldy. I think a day or two at room temperature would be ok, but no longer than that.

I have not refrigerated mine. I have a bean pot with a lid on top of my counter and when I make a batch of bean brownies or oatmeal bars, I portion them up, wrap them in plastic wrap and keep them in there. The oatmeal bars have never lasted more than about 4 days. The bean brownies I have kept this way for up to a week, because I'm the only one that eats them. DH is a big fan of the oatmeal bars. Last week I made two batches, I think I got about 4 of them, and they were gone by Wednesday morning. Anyway, mine have never molded, but with warm weather they may need refrigeration.

Alright, another variation on these:
I made the general recipe, put half in the pan - pressed it down like a crust and then put a layer of nsa jam (you could also use a homemade compote or something), then put the rest of the "batter" on top without pressing it down. Yum! These are so versatile!

I've added the carrots and walnuts, and some shredded zucchini, but I haven't frosted them. That's a great idea, though! I think I'll make a batch of these for our Memorial Day cookout!

I can't speak to that as I'm not a user of Protein Power and I'm not familar with what it is or does.

I made these with protein powder this weekend and it works well.
In fact Nessa you are now famous in my office because everyone wanted the recipe!

Hi Ladies
I was going to try Protein Powder But mine expired this month! D'oh However I did make them doubled the recipe used all banana some ginger nutmeg and cinamon and a splash of vanilla no sweetener.
I did them in muffin tins soo good and I don't have to think of how big to slice a bar!
From doubling the recipe I got 12 muffins 20 min at 350
Next time I will either use more ripe bananas or add the A-sauce (i skipped the extra sweetener)
