Print Recipe

There’s something comforting about starting the day with a wholesome bite — especially when it’s made with love and simple ingredients. These Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Bars came to life when I needed a grab-and-go breakfast that still felt homemade. Soft, chewy, and full of good stuff, they’re perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. You’ll love how easy and satisfying they are!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (or applesauce)

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (like peanut or almond)

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

  • 1/4 cup dried fruit (like raisins or cranberries)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, mix oats, mashed banana, honey, and nut butter until well combined.

  3. Stir in cinnamon, vanilla, salt, dried fruit, and nuts if using.

  4. Press the mixture firmly into the baking pan.

  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until lightly golden.

  6. Let cool completely, then cut into bars.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for a softer texture or rolled oats for a heartier bite.

  • These freeze well — just wrap and store for busy mornings.

  • Add a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips if you want a little treat!

  • Swap the nut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
