We have been dieting at my house lately. Well actually my husband has been pretty good about dieting lately, but I haven’t been baking much. When my son asked me to make cookies I told him no. 🙁
But the next day I saw this quick and easy recipe for Very Berry Crumble Bars on Megan’s Munchies and I thought it was a good compromise. Well, at least it had fruit and oats in it. The recipe does have a cup of oil in it, but I think next time I’ll try it with less oil. It makes a 9×13 pan of cookies, so I cut them up into bars and after we each had one, I froze the rest.

I really didn’t plan on eating any more, but some how every night around 8:00 I just couldn’t resist these delicious bars! I think they may be addicting! Although one bar did seem to satisfy my sweet tooth. Especially when I warmed it up in the microwave and topped it with a little Cool Whip. It was Light Cool Whip though, so really I was being good, right?
Thanks Megan for sharing the recipe!

I'm in the same boat – but every now and then I just have to treat myself! These look really scrumptious! It might be ok to substitute applesauce for some of the oil.

Oh, Barbara, these look luscious and so berry good! I love them. I must try these as bars are great to bake and have on hand. I have no cake mix here available but I assume that I can replace it with a favorite yellow cake batter?

I'm dieting here as well but try to bake and munch every now and again…My RD says that I should not cut things out of my diet but eat in moderation…unfortunately moderation is what I'm worried about…LOL These look scrumptious!!! Can I have one please?
