CHOCOLATE OATMEAL BARS




Have you ever had what i call a "Ratatouille moment?", you may have had one without realizing it, so me explain what this is: In the tender movie Ratatouille, a food critic site down at a restraint table and tastes a dish of Ratatouille, a combination of eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers and a blend of seasonings and spices. As soon as his fork hits his lips, he's immediately transposed to his childhood. He traveled back to sitting at his mother's table filling himself with this comforting dish laced with bursting flavors and of course, love for me, oatmeal brings a Ratatouille moment; however, for those who don't like the taste of regular oatmeal, i have rounded up some inventive recipes to make your morning fun and healthy.
