I have loved oatmeal ever since I was a little kid…the only thing I loved more than a bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit on top was oatmeal cookies and this Leftover Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars Recipe definitely does not disappoint!
Well, that’s not me!
I love Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, and I absolutely LOVE Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies too, like this amazing recipe I am sharing using the leftover oatmeal from my recent Instant Pot Oatmeal Recipe.
Yes, I know – no one likes Oatmeal Cookies and I have heard the joke quite often about being tricked into eating an oatmeal raisin cookie because the person thought it was a chocolate chip cookie!
