The Breakfast Bars are so good, you could easily serve them as a dessert and no one would question it at all. Between the 4 of us we had a hard time not eating the whole tray in 1 day.
Who needs boring old granola bars or plain old oatmeal when you can have some of these for breakfast?? The are soft, ooey gooey, and they also will fill you up and leave you energized and ready for a great day! Best part is, even picky kids will eat these. And if you don’t want to add the chocolate drizzle on the top, they still will taste delicious!
Couple steps that can help the end result:
Mixing – Mix the ingredient types separately. Meaning, in one bowl mix the peanut butter, applesauce, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir it together until completely smooth. In another bowl mix the oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
Then it’s time to mix them together. Slowly the oats and milk into the peanut butter mixture, half at a time.
Flavorful Additions – We decided to use chocolate chips in ours, but you could also add:
- Cranberries
- Raisins
- Nuts
- Blueberries
- Etc
**For those of you that need Gluten Free options, no fear, these are good to go!**
