Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are a nutritious and delicious morning treat that can be made ahead of time for busy mornings. These bars are lightly sweetened and packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, whole wheat flour, and a hint of warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (100g) instant oats (gluten-free if necessary)
  • ¾ cup (90g) whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg white (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60mL) pure maple syrup (room temperature)
  • 6 tbsp (90mL) unsweetened vanilla almond milk (room temperature)

Optional Mix-Ins:

  • Customize with nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 300°F and coat an 8”-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter or coconut oil, egg white, and vanilla. Stir in maple syrup and milk. Add oat mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in optional mix-ins.
  3. Bake: Spread mixture into the pan and bake at 300°F for 9-12 minutes.
  4. Cool and slice: Cool bars to room temperature in the pan. For best texture, allow them to rest for an additional 6+ hours before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • These bars are lightly sweetened, similar to breakfast muffins or scones. Adjust sweetness by substituting more maple syrup for milk if desired.
