QUICK BREAKFAST BARS
A quick breakfast that I can take with me on the run. I like to make these and store them individually in the freezer so I can grab when I need to. I also like to add extra veggies such as carrots or zucchini to get them in where I can.

BREAKFAST BARS WITH OATS AND COCONUT
A little like granola bars with their combination of oats, seeds, almond butter and dried cherries, these cookies - adapted from the chefs Michelle Palazzo and Peter Edris of Frenchette Bakery - have a soft and chewy texture rather than a crunchy snap. Perfect for a breakfast on the run or an afternoon nibble, they are lightly sweet and decidedly filling. At the bakery, the dough is baked into large, individual cookies, but, in this slightly simpler version, the dough is pressed into a 9-inch pan and baked into bars. (To make cookies, see the note below.)

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer and a large bowl, cream almond butter, granulated and brown sugars, and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add egg, egg white, salt and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated, occasionally scraping the side and bottom of bowl, about 1 minute longer.
- Put oats in a small bowl, sift the baking soda over them, and beat into almond butter mixture. With the mixer on low speed, stir in coconut flakes, cherries and seeds until thoroughly mixed. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the dough (still in the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days. (This allows the oats to hydrate.)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a metal 9-inch square baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches to hang over 2 sides of the pan and use as handles later. Grease the parchment paper as well.
- Scrape dough into the prepared baking pan. Lightly grease a large spatula and firmly press the mixture into the pan in an even layer. Bake until the surface is light golden brown and firm, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and allow bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a butter knife or small offset spatula to cut along the inside edges of the pan and release the bars. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift bars out of the pan and place them on a cutting board. Cut into 18 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
BREAKFAST BARS
"I like to stash these satisfying squares in the freezer," writes Candace Jenks. "When I need a quick breakfast or anytime snack, I simply microwave the not-too-sweet bars until they're thawed," says the Minot, North Dakota cook.

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Save time in the morning by preparing the breakfast bars the night before. Simply mix the ingredients, pour into the pan, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, all you have to do is bake and enjoy!
- Use Ripe Bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the breakfast bars. If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few hours.
- Add Your Favorite Mix-Ins: Feel free to customize the breakfast bars with your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and chocolate chips.
- Make Them Gluten-Free: To make the breakfast bars gluten-free, use gluten-free oats and flour. You can also use a gluten-free baking mix.
- Store Properly: Once baked, the breakfast bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
Conclusion:
Quick breakfast bars are a delicious and convenient way to start your day. They're easy to make, customizable, and can be enjoyed on the go.
