The minute I saw these on the Pioneer Woman site they shot straight to the top of my “must make” list. And make them we did. Right away. And you know what we did after we made them? We ate them, just as quickly. Not surprising, really. Recipes made with brown sugar and butter tend to go fast around here. I don’t think i’ve ever thrown away extra brownies. Now, extra broccoli, yes. I’ve thrown away lots of leftover broccoli. Never leftover dessert though!!These were super simple to make. An easy brown sugar, oats, butter crust with some strawberry preserves and then more crust. Thrown in the oven and then ready to eat. These have both oatmeal and strawberry preserves so we are going to call them breakfast. And what a delicious breakfast they made. If breakfast always tasted this good, i’d eat it everyday!
