Description
These Healthy Breakfast Bars are perfect for busy mornings, offering a firm oat base with a soft berry topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer for the base.
- Bake the base in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- While the base is baking, prepare the topping by combining mixed berries, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Spread the berry topping evenly over the baked base and let cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into desired sizes.
Notes
Press the base well for firmer bars. Bake until edges turn light brown. Cook berries until thick to prevent the topping from running.
