Grab and Go Breakfast Bars
These bars are not just any bars; they’re packed with high fiber and high protein to keep you fueled for whatever madness your day throws at you. Say goodbye to those sad excuses for breakfast and get ready to embrace the nutritional goodness!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, whatever floats your boat!)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (for that sweet touch)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (go wild, trust your nut instincts)
- ¼ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, your choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: A sprinkle of chocolate chips (because why not?)
Instructions:
- First things first, preheat that oven of yours to 350°F (or 175°C for those living outside the States). Grease up an 8×8 inch baking pan. You’ll thank yourself when it’s time to get these bars out!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Mix them together like they’re about to dance the tango.
- In a separate bowl, mix the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Give it a good stirring until it’s all combined and smooth, just like your best friend’s compliments about your cooking.
- Now, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until everything is perfectly combined. This might take a little elbow grease, but it’s worth it!
- Spread the mixture evenly in your greased baking pan. Press it down firmly; you want them to stick together like your besties on a night out.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and your kitchen smells like a bakery. Trust us, it’s a good smell!
- Once they’re done, let them cool completely before cutting them into bars. Patience is a virtue, my friend!
Now you have delicious, handy breakfast bars ready to go! You can store them in an airtight container, and they’ll be good for a week! Grab one on your way out, and you’ll be set for the day ahead. Enjoy the yummy goodness and conquer your mornings like the breakfast warrior you are!
