Healthy Breakfast Bars Recipe
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 & omega-3s to keep you full all morning long! Plus they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free and vegan!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup quick cooking oats can use old fashioned but they will be chewier
- ½ cup almond meal
- ½ cup flaxseed meal
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2-4 TBS plant-based vanilla protein powder optional
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 bananas ripe and mashed
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 TBS honey or maple syrup for vegan option
- More peanut butter for the top about ¼ cup
Instructions
- 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).
- 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!
