The search is on for a great homemade oatmeal bar!

In an attempt to cut grocery store costs, I've starting trying some at home recipes for some of our favorite store bought snacks.  I'm currently on a search to find a great oatmeal bar recipe. 

Last week, I tried this recipe I found on pinterest.
First, I had to convert the measurements to standard system. Based on my conversions, here's the recipe I used:

2 bananas (mashed)
7 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon *next time I'd only use 1
3 tbsp honey
2 cups quick oats

Put mixture in a greased 9x9 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. 
Let cool. Cut into bars/squares.

My finished product looked like this:

My ratings:
Recipe difficulty: easy
Time: took me less than 10 minutes to make, then 45 to bake
Ingredients: all things I had in my pantry
Taste: too much cinnamon for my first round, that's why I noted I'd only use 1 tsp next time
Texture: the downfall of this recipe  - too chewy/rubbery for my liking.  Judah (my-two year old) didn't seem to mind the texture.  He ate four one day for lunch!  But everyone else who tried them agreed that the texture seemed off. 

Would I make this again? Probably not. They're not bad for my first attempt, but since  I'm not hooked on the flavor or texture -  I'm convinced there's something better out there.
