What To Make For Breakfast Or Snack – Berry Oatmeal Bars
We like to mix up what to make for breakfast so our kids don’t get bored. Also, when we are out playing at the park or going for a hike we make sure to pack healthy snacks with us so the kids (and adults!) can keep on playing till nap/bed time. These bars pack a nutrition punch, with fiber, protein and calories to keep you going. You can easily vary the recipe to suite your needs or mix it up.
Ingredients
- 5 cup oats (we like Large Flake, but Quick Oats are ok too)
- ½ cup whole-wheat flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1/5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries or strawberries
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbs apple sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Coat baking pan with cooking spray
- Mix all ingredients in one bowl
- Pour into the pan and bake for 20 min (a toothpick will come out clean)
- Cut into bars when cool
- ENJOY!
