oatmeal breakfast bars

Susan76

Anyone have a healthy breakfast bar recipe? I've researched some on websites, looking for oats, seeds, etc. Mornings are rushed so I thought I could make my own bars for breakfast...any suggestions?

Thanks for the recipes! Do you have calorie info.? Maybe they're in the database? Do you store these in the frig and how long do they stay fresh?

Here's a recipe I was given about a month ago. They taste like cookies and my husband asks for them just about EVERY day!

- 2/3 C. nuts (I use walnuts, almonds and cashews)
- 1/3 C. dry oatmeal
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup ( or half agave and half maple syrup)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 C. dried fruit like cherries and blueberries (I've never tried it w/any other kind but you could be adventurous) or chocolate chips (or both fruit and chocolate chips)

Place nuts and dry oatmeal in a food processor and blend for a few minutes. Add maple syrup and vanilla and blend again briefly. Add dried fruit and/or chocolate chips and blend once more.

The mixture will ball up at this point. You're done! Eat at this point or prepare and place in the freezer. I either make tiny balls with the mixture or put it in a plastic bag, roll flat and put it in the freezer. This way, it's easy to break off a piece when I want a little "pick-me-up".

Hope you like them! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I make a batch of steel cut oats using the overnight method and put them in the fridge. Scoop out a portion in the am nuke it with some cinn and nutmeg and splenda. I make a batch every 4 days or so. While the oatmeal is in the microwave I peel 2 hard boiled eggs to go with. Good carbs, protein, quick and filling.

If out of the steel cut oats I use regular old fashioned oats, 1/2C with 1/2C water, cinn, nutmeg and splenda... 110 seconds in the nuke. Makes it chewy rather than soupy.
