Cinnamon-Cranberry Oat Bars image

I'm a swim coach for kids, and I started making these bars for them as a snack. I wanted something that was easy to eat but would also give them energy. The kids loved them from the very first time I brought them. Now I bring them to every team event. -Sarah Riviere, Prescott, Arizona
