Copycat Clif Kid Z Iced Oatmeal Cookie Bars
Same great flavor, texture and deliciousness of clif bars made at home!
Servings: 20 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashion oats – divided
- 1/2 cup dried figs or dates – for an authentic taste use figs but if they can’t be found then dates will work too.
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- For frosting on top:
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a blender, food processor or a bowl that you can use an immersion blender in, add 1 cup old fashion oats, dried figs or dates, molasses, honey, sugar, salt, vanilla, coconut oil, baking soda, cinnamon and water.
- Blend on high, stopping and stirring and pulsing until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the final 1 cup of old fashion oats and blend until all smooth or briefly stir the mixture so the oats are not fully blended into the mixture for a more textured bar.
- Empty batter onto a parchment paper lined or greased cookie sheet.
- Spread into a large rectangle about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Note the batter will not fill the entire cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until tops are no longer sticky.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing. The pieces can be slightly molded too so you can round out the edges of the bars if desired.
- In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, water and vanilla and mix together.
- Place in a zip lock bag, snip the end off and make a zigzag across the tops of cooled bars.
- I store mine in a zip lock bag in the door of my refrigerator so my kids can grab them when wanted.
