Default Re: looking for easily frozen meals

People say oatmeal helps on milk supply for breastfeeding, I have been making these weekly ... YumCity!!!!!!!!
VANISHING OATMEAL BARS
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, coarsely ground
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cinnamon
3 cups rolled oats (instant or old fashion)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat butter or margarine and sugars, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to the egg mixture. Stir well.
Stir in oats, nuts, raisins and mix well. Pour and spread evenly into ungreased 9x13 dark pan (not clear glass). Bake 30-35 minutes. Cool 1 minute and remove to wire rack. When cool store in airtight container.
NOTE: You can add butterscotch or chocolate pieces in place of the raisins.

I cut these up into bar size, wrapped in saran wrap, and froze. Grabbed one as I needed, great for on the go!
