Oatmeal Breakfast Bars Ingredients
Healthy homemade breakfast bars are prepared using oats, ripe mashed banana, liquid (water or milk), nut butter, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. I prefer honey while making these bars. You can use sugar, maple syrup or stevia. Use water, milk, or dairy-free milk to mix the batter.
Peanut butter oatmeal breakfast bars are our favorite. You can use cashew butter, almond butter, or even seed butter to make these bars. These are the best banana bars you can make. But during the fall and holiday season, you can also try these with mashed sweet potatoes or pumpkin.
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to make baked oatmeal bars with peanut butter?
Tips
You can mix all the ingredients and let it sit for 15 minutes before baking so that the flavors blend better. Add nuts like almonds or walnuts, cranberries, and raisin or chocolate chips to the batter. Baking time may vary based on the thickness of the bars. Use a larger piece of parchment paper than necessary. This way, you can pull out the bars easily.
How to store homemade breakfast bars?
These banana oat bars are one of the best make-ahead breakfast recipes or healthy breakfast meal prep ideas for busy mornings. Once baked and cooled completely, you can cover and refrigerate it for up to five days. Or cut them into bars or slices and store them in an airtight conatiner with a parchment paper between each piece. You can also store these breakfast bars in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the microwave just before serving.
