Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup quick cooking oats; 1/2 cup almond flour; 1/2 cup flax meal; 2 teaspoons cinnamon; 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt; 4 tablespoons organic protein coconut blend; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 2 ripe bananas peeled and mashed; 1/2 cup applesauce; 1/4 cup organic peanut butter with no sugar added; 2 tablespoons maple syrup; 1/2 cup no sugar added peanut butter for topping

These are my happy hubby Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast bars because he loves how good they taste and I like that they are gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and vegan. Delicious and good for you, the best of both worlds!

The best part about making these is the simple bowl to baking pan recipe.

How Do You Make Oatmeal Breakfast Bars?

In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients; oats, almond flour, flax meal, salt, cinnamon, and protein powder. Stir together and set aside.

In a large bowl, add bananas and mash with a fork. Add applesauce, syrup, 1/4 cup peanut butter and vanilla. Mix all until creamy smooth.

Mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix just until smooth. Pour into the 8×8 greased pan.

Bake for 25 minutes. Then remove from oven and spread peanut butter all over the top of bars.

Bake for another 10 minutes or until the top is firm and just starting to brown around the edges. With my oven, I had to bake for another 7 minutes to achieve this.

Completely cool in the refrigerator then cut into 9 bars. Store in an airtight container until you are ready for breakfast.

You can add in all kinds of yummy ingredients to make these a little different each time you bake them. Try adding 1/3 cup of one of these when you stir your wet and dry ingredents together.
