These peach oatmeal bars are a buttery, oatmeal, brown sugary, peachy sweet delicious dessert that pairs perfectly with a cup of hot or cold tea! Peach picking is one of our family’s favorite summer things to do! We love trekking up the side of the mountain to the sweet smelling trees with the just perfectly ripe peaches. We fill our basket and walk along the rows of peach trees as we savor the first bite of a peach that dribbles its fresh juice down our chins!
As we walk and eat we talk about all the delicious dishes we are going to create with our abundance of peaches we are collecting! We have our favorites that we make year after year, and we always dream up new recipes as well.
These peach oatmeal bars are a recipe we dreamed up together as we wanted to combine our love for peaches, and granola bars in all one bite!

Is the butter amounts correct on this recipe ? I made them and they are delicious but it took a long time for them to bake.
These look so good! Pinning!
