We made these for our son’s pre-school class as we all rotate bringing in snack. They’re very good! I used the applesauce and honey and they turned out great. Good breakfast on the run recipe, too!

Are they supposed to be chewy or crunchy?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me with “quick oats”… Is this like dry oatmeal? Or are there specific quick oats at the grocery store?

They are different. But you can use either kind, Candice. The quick oats aren’t as chewy as regular “old-fashioned” oats, but I have used both with success. Hope this helps…
