OATMEAL, APPLE AND PEANUT BUTTER BARS



Oatmeal, Apple and Peanut Butter Bars image

I have had this recipe for years and recently started making it after not finding any other oatmeal bars that were a nice combination of good nutrition and good flavor. Not overly sweet and fattening like a cookie, but not so ultra healthy they aren't appealing to kids. You can adapt the recipe, adding any dried fruit you like, use part whole wheat, add some ground flax, my 3 year old likes adding some mini chocolate chips on top. Can't argue with that! Great for breakfast or a afternoon snack.

PEANUT BUTTER AND APPLE OATMEAL BREAKFAST BARS



Peanut Butter and Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bars image

I rarely cook anything for breakfast. A typical breakfast for me consists of a whole wheat bagel thin with peanut butter and honey, some days I top it with sliced bananas. On the side I generally have a glass of V8-Fusion juice and a cup of tea. In the spirit of the Healthy Eats January Challenge, I thought I'd whip up a healthy, easy and quick (only 20 minutes cook time) breakfast that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Seeing as it is National Oatmeal Month, it seemed fitting that oatmeal be at the heart of today's breakfast. Feel free to substitute another fruit instead of the apple or used dry ingredients. Just make sure that your dried fruit isn't loaded with sugar or other artifical ingredients.

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 apple, peeled and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease an 11x7 inch baking pan. If you don't have one, you can use an 8x8, 9x9, or if neceessary an 11x13.
  • Place peanut butter and butter in a microwave safe dish. Heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir together.
  • Place all ingredients, except fruit, into a bowl. Using an electric beater or KitchenAid mixer, beat ingredients together for approximately 1 minutes.

  • Pour the mixture into greased pan and press entire mixture down firmly with your fingers.
  • Place pan into the oven and cook for 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. If you are using an 11x13 pan, it will take a bit less time because the mixture will be much thinner.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into strips. Let the remaining bars cool entirely before you place in tupperware or wrap them in foil.

Tasty bars that pack a bunch of protein into a tiny yet satisfying bar. Great for recovery from a workout, a quick breakfast or snack, or on a hike. Easy to make gluten-free by using GF oats and oat flour.

PEANUT BUTTER & OATMEAL DREAM BARS - FIVE STARS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Dream Bars - Five Stars Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used creamy)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 King size Reese's Peanut Butter Cup candy bars, roughly chopped
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with tin foil and spray with Pam. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, soda, oatmeal, flour & salt until it becomes a crumbly texture and set aside a little more than 1 cups worth of the crust mixture. Press the remaining crust into your prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. While the crust is cooking, in a small bowl, stir the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk together. Once the crust has baked, pour and spread peanut butter filling over the baked crust in an even layer. Be careful not to pull up the warm crust while spreading your mixture. Evenly sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top of the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk mix. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle the chopped candy bars and chocolate chips on top. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until topping is light golden brown and the chocolate chips and bars are melting. Allow to cool before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking will make the bars dry. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter oatmeal bars are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their chewy texture, sweet and nutty flavor, and nutritious ingredients, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or breakfast, give these peanut butter oatmeal bars a try!
