  • Add the vanilla and mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the four, oatmeal, baking powder and salt.
  • Slowly add these dry
    ingredients into the batter until well combined.
  • Spray the baking pan with a non stick cooking
    spray and spread the batter into the pan.

    inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow them to cool while making the icing.
  • In a saucepan, add all of the icing ingredients
    and melt over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Spread over the bars and allow to cool completely
    before cutting and serving.
