Healthy Oat based snacks?

Mc Vities Hob Nob biscuits were my favourite, but at just shy of 100 cals each I'm looking for a healthier alternative.
I've made some honey flapjacks as per a BBC food recipe that I've found online, that are tasty but a bit naughty, and I was hopping someone might have some suggestions?

    I made this with mixed berries and it was delicious. I'm actually going to try it with bananas and peanut butter today.
  • I really like these, or some variation of them:

    They freeze really well so you can portion them out and take them as you need them. They thaw by lunch time for an afternoon snack.
  • msopel,

    Thanks so much for listing this website ....and the oatbar recipe.

    I modified my version, since the pics made the bars look like they were moist. I wanted a bar that would not fall apart.

    I added..... more oats.......flaxseed.....wheat germ.....more dried fruit (cherries) and walnuts.

    I substituted tahini ( sesame seeds) for the coconut butter..........and used honey instead of maple syrup.

    These are AWESOME ! ! !

    I ran this through the recipe maker and @ 33 servings per batch.......it comes to 167 cals per serving.
    One bar is enough to pack the void in the morning.

    Thanks for the great idea ! ! !
