Description:
Healthy chewy oatmeal bar frosted with chocolate, added raisins pack a punch to the nutty taste.

Ingredients:
1 egg
1/4 C white sugar
1/4 C brown sugar
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp almond
140 g instant oatmeal
1/2 C chopped almonds
1/4 C dried raisins
100 g chocolate chips
10 g butter

Directions:
1. Whip egg, sugar, butter and vanilla essence together.
2. Fold in oatmeal, raisins and chopped almonds.
3. Press dough into well-greased 6" round pan, and bake in preheated oven at 170deg for 20min.
4. Cut into bars when warm.
5. Frost with chocolate cream made by microwaving 100g chocolate chips with 10g butter.
6. Store in refrigerator.

Remarks:
Would prefer it to be less sweet, but overall taste was unexpectedly good. Chocolate frosting and raisins complemented the otherwise plain oatmeal bar.
