Substitutions And Additions

NUTS: While this no-bake oatmeal bars recipe calls for chopped pecans, you can substitute this for many different kinds of nuts. If you prefer, you could use chopped almonds, walnuts, cashews, or macadamia nuts instead.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: As with the nuts, you can substitute semisweet chocolate chips. You could use milk chocolate chips, white chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips instead.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS: You can make your own graham cracker crumbs by placing them in a Ziploc bag and using a rolling pin to crush them. You can also opt to buy store-bought graham cracker crumbs if you prefer.

STEP THREE: Add the chocolate chips to the mixture and stir well.

STEP FOUR: Add in the pecans, oats, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla. Stir all of these ingredients together well.
