Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars by Skinny Girl Standard, a low-calorie food blog.I’m not saying parents have favorite children, but I do have favorite recipes, and it’s my Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars. I love the rich chocolate flavor, the crunchy oat topping. It’s something you have to taste to believe. Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars by Skinny Girl Standard, a low-calorie food blog. Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars by Skinny Girl Standard, a low-calorie food blog.My, I do declare. These Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars are a thing of the future. Recently, I shared this recipe with my husband. Bless his heart, he is always very skeptical of low-calorie food because he has that ridiculous guy’s metabolism and just doesn’t see the point. Also keep in mind that we attended college together, so he was with me through my culinary enlightenment. As you can imagine, this makes for an interesting discussion at the dinner table. He’s all about more cheese, more carbs, more meat, and I’m like, “Babe  . . . pass the spaghetti squash.”

Anyway, it’s quite hilarious because even though he starts off being very skeptical of all my desserts, he always falls madly in love with them. This is not because I am a genius in the kitchen (not by any means); rather, it’s because I’ve messed up enough and sort of understand how to run things. Plus, if anything is a total flop, I toss it, don’t take pictures, don’t post it to my website, and don’t let Ryan anywhere near it.

As for this recipe, Ryan was skeptical per usual. I was like . . . “Babe . . . chocolate crunchy something. I’ll call it Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars. Try it.” And he was like, “Anything for you babe,” but had that really nervous look on his face, all cause he still remembers that one time I tried to make soufflé a billion years ago. People don’t forget. Anyway, he ate it and he was like, “Yeah . . . I’ll take two more of those. The big slices.” and I was like, “YAS!” Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars by Skinny Girl Standard, a low-calorie food blog.Skinny Chocolate Oatmeal Bars by Skinny Girl Standard, a low-calorie food blog.Here are some of my favorite baking items:

Hey there! My name is Jordan Nettleship. I'm a Christian, an author, and a nutty health freak. I adore cooking, my husband Ryan, my puppy Mercedes, writing young adult fiction and being my weird self ;) I believe that "skinny" isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel.
