These Healthy Oatmeal Date Bars are sweet and sticky and just perfect for breakfast on the go. And I should know since we have these on a fairly (!) regular basis as breakfasts on the go. I'm sure I tell you this all the time but I just can't get myself together in the mornings. Anyway, enough of that. Be like me and make these ahead of time so however together you are or not...you can just grab and go!
