breakfast bars

These are the BEST Healthy Breakfast Bars ever! I have eaten one every day for over a decade (seriously)! This easy recipe is made in one bowl in 30 minutes, and is loaded with fiber, protein &amp; omega-3s to keep you full all morning long! Plus they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free and vegan!

Healthy Breakfast Bars Recipe

almond meal

flaxseed meal

cinnamon

sea salt

2-4 TBS plant-based vanilla protein powder (optional)

tsp pure vanilla extract

bananas (ripe and mashed)

applesauce

peanut butter

TBS honey

butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 square baking dish

In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients (oats, almond meal, flaxseed, salt, cinnamon and protein powder if using), set aside. (alternately add the dry ingredients after mixing the wet ingredients).&nbsp;

In a large bowl mash the banana. Add applesauce, honey, 1/4 cup peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.

Stir dry ingredients into wet until combined. Spread mixture into the pan (should be moist but NOT soupy).

Bake 20 minutes (should be slightly brown around the edges and top should be set), remove from oven and spread peanut butter over the top of the bars (I like a really thick layer of peanut butter but it’s to your own preference)

Continue baking for 10 minutes more or until firm and lightly browned around the edges. At this point the peanut butter layer will have tiny little bubbles in it.

Cool completely in the refrigerator and cut into 6 or 9 bars. Wrap each with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick grab and go breakfast!

Healthy Breakfast Bars

Use Sunbutter to make these nut-free. You can cut these into smaller bars if desired. If you want them a little softer, serve them at room temperature rather than chilled.

Healthy Breakfast Bars with Jam

oats

honey

flour flour

cup peanut butter or Sunbutter

milk (dairy

vanilla

baking powder

all fruit jam

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8&#215;8-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving a few inches overhang on two sides so you can easily lift the bars out when they&#8217;re cooled.

Place the oats into the bowl of a food processor or blender and blitz to grind into a coarse flour. 

Place the honey and peanut butter into a medium bowl and warm in the microwave for about 15 seconds.

Add the oats and the remaining ingredients except the jam to the bowl with the peanut butter and honey and stir together. Use clean hands to bring the dough together as needed to form a thick, cookie dough like texture. It will hold together when pressed between your fingers.

Place the remaining batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and press down evenly to cover.

Crumble the remaining dough over the jam and press down slightly.

Bake for 22-24 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool completely in the pan. (You can speed this up by sticking the pan into the fridge.

Lift the bars out using the parchment paper and slice into bars.

These are delightful. I loved being able to make the dough entirely in the food processor. My kiddos and I really liked them. Thank you!

My 18 month old loves these! I made them once, and actually cried when I couldn’t find the recipe again. I finally found it again though, yay! I love these too, and I love that they are low sugar.

Oil-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Adapted from my Gluten Free Trail Mix Cookies and my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.

Good morning Demeter,
I don't have any fun morning routines. It's a struggle every day! These bars look fantastic and would certainly help motivate me to get up in the morning! Maybe that could be part of my morning routine! I love breakfast cookies- i mean, bars. LOL. Add in oats, chocolate, and peanut butter and I'm sold!

Can't wait to make these!!!

I'm starting to wonder if you cut yourself if you would bleed peanut butter and chocolate.  Not that I want you to accidentally cut yourself to find out!  DON'T DO THAT!  ;)  BUT, I'm thinking there is a strong possibility your body is made up of PB and C.  &lt;3  I don&#039;t blame you for eating all the peanut butter though, because your right, a day might come when E decides he doesn&#039;t like it again.  So you might as well get your fix while you can!  Now quick oats.. believe it or not I&#039;ve never had &#039;em... and I&#039;m thinking I&#039;m never going to.  Especially with water.  EW.  I&#039;ll just live vicariously through you on that one, mi lady!  ;)  Anyways, these cookies...errrr bars, are FAB!  Such a delicious way to wake up.  And you are right, a day that starts with these texture packed bad boys is SURE to be a great one!  Pinned of course!  Cheers, lovely - to a fabulous, LONG weekend!  YAY!  xoxo

How'd you know I was high-fiving you?! Oh yessss...Peanut butter? Oatmeal? In the form of a breakfast bar? I'm in! You sure have peanut butter's number! Hmmmm - favorite breakfast? This is a tough one... It so depends on my mood but I'll have to go with savory...something that includes eggs and butter and Italian toast and hot peppers....oh my...but other days? More sweet - like these fabulous bars!! Have a beautiful weekend, my friend! :)

I was looking something quick and nutrishious for my son to grab in the morning on his way out the door in the morning. He would get slugish mid morning. These did the trick and he loved them. Then I decided to get creative with this wonderful recipe. I added a heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder, a tabespoon of Macca powder and a tablespoon of vegetable protein powder. Added a bit of lite coconut milk to soften the consistency. Slam dunk! They stayed soft and full of flavor! An awesome breakfast for people on the go!

Just finished baking these and they turned out sooo good! I had to use processed peanut butter and needed to add a little extra liquid to the batter to make it wet enough. They have a great texture coming right out of the oven!

These are amazing!! Just made them for the first time and immediately are 1/4 of the pan ;) 
I'm usually not a huge fan of oatmeal bars, because the texture reminds me too much of a bowl of oatmeal, but these were much more like a cookie. I also love the combination of oats, coconut, chocolate, and walnuts.
Thank you!!

These turned out really awesome! I tweaked it a bit according to what I had on hand or was trying to use up.
Almond butter, old fashioned oats, ww flour, honey, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds, otherwise everything was the same. For some reason I can’t stand the taste of almond butter alone or on a sandwich but it’s great in baked goods.

I loved these! Such a great crazy morning breakfast- and I can get the kids I nanny to eat them! That's how you know they're delicious! 
I had to change the recipe slightly because of a peanut allergy,still worked and tasted great!

These were so delicious that it could actually be dangerous! I cannot believe there is zero butter in these bars because I swear I taste it. I absolutely love these and will be making them regularly. I followed the recipe exactly as stated. Thank you for giving me the motivation to get up in the morning!

I just wanted to let you know that I make these every week for my daughter.  She is an athlete, vegetarian and allergic to eggs and cashew, and she loves these.  I make a double batch and she has at least two every day. I use almond butter instead of the peanut butter and sometimes add a bit of protein powder.  I also use a chia and flax blend.  
Thank you so much for creating this recipe. These are way better than Cliff bars and the like and much better for you as well.
Karen

These are so good!  Made a batch for weekly breakfasts and had to try a piece, and another and another. So I had bag them up and now I have something to look forward to in the morning.

Hi! Loved trying this recipe out as I love discovering anything oat related, so yummy! Do you happen to have an estimate of calorie content on these bad boys without me breaking everything down!? Thanks for sharing!

I made these last night in an effort to find something my husband and sons will grab on the go for breakfast. I used regular eggs instead of flax eggs and whole wheat flour instead of oat flour. I didn’t have any coconut, so I omitted that. I used dark chocolate chips and added 1/4 c pumpkin seeds because that’s what I had in the pantry. Baked them for 20 min in a 9 by 7 pan because, again, that’s what I had on hand. Husband loved them and I will definitely make them again, but I’ll continue to experiment with the add ins. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great recipe! I used quinoa flakes and almond meal and for the sugar I used xylitol.  Turned out great. I'll be making this regularly.  Thank you.

Hi Virginia :) Do you remember how much almond flour and quinoa flakes you substituted?
I love this recipe and have made it several times for myself!  My son has a lot of food allergies (including oats), so I would love to make it for him using your substitutions.  
Thanks!
Heather

These were fantastic! I followed the recipe as is except I subbed almond butter as we were sadly out of peanut butter. I also added 1/4 cup ground flax seeds for added nutrients. They are SO GOOD. 10/10 will make again. Thank you.

I used this as a base recipe and made it with items I had on hand. Substituted oat flour for almond meal. Substituted flax egg for the vegan egg replace. Used half almond butter and half peanut butter. In one batch I used veggie oil and in the second I used olive oil. No coconut sugar, so raw sugar worked well. This is an amazing base recipe because the ratios are spot on. Thank you so much!

Just made another batch for a keto client and they came out super well, this recipe is an amazing base and works well for substitutions.

All flours and oats substituted with almond meal, vegan eggs subbed with whole eggs, oil is olive oil and sugar with swerve sugar substitute. 

Thank you for this recipe with perfect ratios.

I just made these bars. I followed recipe as written except using olive oil in place of coconut oil which I ran out of. Oh and I used a 9x9 pan . They taste absolutely delicious and I’ve eaten two and a half already! Only issue is that they’re thinner than yours because I used a 9x9 and they’re VERY crumbly. I had to use a fork. I’m just wondering if you have any idea why they fell apart and didn’t hold together. I cooled for 1 hour. Next time I’ll use my 8x8 pan and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise they are really yummy!! 

Thank you Demeter! ❤️

There’s nothing better than prepping a breakfast or brunch recipe the night before, going to bed, and waking up and all you need to do is bake it. It’s one of the best breakfasts ever and like eating dessert for breakfast. Chopped blueberry frozen waffles are layered with a brown sugar and cream cheese mixture before adding blueberries, more waffles, and pouring a milky, buttery egg mixture over the top as well as a buttery, cinnamon and brown sugar streusel topping. There’s so much texture and flavor in every bite. Juicy blueberries, soft yet chewy waffles, a crumbly streusel for subtle crunch, and a glaze to boot.
