Has anyone an Oatmeal Bar recipe that is NOT sweet?
All oatmeal breakfast bar recioes I've seen are sweet. I'm trying to come up with something savory-- not sweet-- for the local diabetic. Thank you.
My husband is type 2 diabetic. Here are some recipes I have found. Hope they will be what you need.

Jo-Ann's Power Bars
"These power bars are delicious and much more nutritious than most granola bars. They are very filling, too. Instead of using dried mixed fruit, feel free to substitute any of your favorite dried fruits. Same goes for the nuts."

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grapenuts TM)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
