One rainy quaratine afternoon we decided to make all things oats. Since we were going to be in the kitchen together we decided to let the video camera run. We made no bake peanut butter chocolate energy balls, Brian’s favorite. Then a chewy granola with toasted coconut, oats, and raisins. These are great recipes to make with your little ones in the kitchen!
