Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Nutritious, easy and slightly sweet, these oatmeal breakfast bars are full of fiber and packed with fresh blueberries.
My Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are so easy to whip up and are perfect for meal prep! Make a batch in under 30 minutes to prep a week’s worth of grab and go breakfasts. These bars are made with whole wheat flour, rolled oats and flax seed, so they are packed with fiber to keep you feeling full. They are lightly sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract, cinnamon and juicy blueberries. This may be my favorite breakfast recipe yet!
- Whole Wheat Flour – you can substitute white flour, but whole grain flour tastes great in this recipe and adds fiber.
- Rolled Oats – I used Old Fashioned Quaker Oats for this recipe – they’re my favorite. These give the bars bulk and add even more fiber.
- Flax Seeds – Add a nice crunch and are a good source of omega 3 fatty acids.
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda – Leavening agents
- Salt
- Pure maple syrup – make sure to buy natural real pure maple syrup, not the “fake” kind
- Eggs – act as a binding agent
- Banana – Add moisture and nutrition
- Vanilla and Cinnamon – Add depth to flavor, especially since these bars are lower sugar
- Olive oil – fat helps the bars stay moist
- Blueberries – the star! So juicy, delicious and nutritious
They are naturally sweetened with a reasonable amount of pure maple syrup, just 1/4 cup in the whole batch. We added vanilla, cinnamon, banana and blueberries to add more natural sweetness to the bars. These oatmeal bars are made with oatmeal and whole grains so they’re packed with fiber. They’re quick, guilt free, nutritious and go great with a cup of coffee!
You can store these for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Keeping them in the fridge may help them hold up even better, but you may also store them at room temperature.
