English Matrimonial Oat Bars
Throwback to my very first recipe post ever!! My very good friend in college, Tori, gave me this recipe when we were roommates in college. Apparently it was passed down from her grandmother and she made it all the time. It’s simple, moist, buttery, and yummy! I have great memories of baking this with her while in Seattle on rainy days. Tori, this is for you!
