Steps:
- Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the oats, and toast, tossing and turning oats, until oatmeal is browned and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add 4 cups water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until most of the water has evaporated and the oatmeal is tender, about 30 minutes for the Irish oatmeal and 10 minutes for the old-fashioned rolled oats. Serve hot with the toppings of your choice.
Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats: Old-fashioned oats provide a chewier texture and more fiber than quick-cooking oats.
- Toast the oats before baking: Toasting the oats in the oven before baking enhances their flavor and gives the bars a slightly crispy texture.
- Use a variety of apples: Feel free to mix and match different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady, to create a variety of flavors and textures.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to these bars, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips, to create a custom flavor combination.
- Make them ahead of time: These bars can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
These toasted oatmeal apple breakfast bars are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are easy to make, can be customized to your liking, and are a great grab-and-go breakfast option. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a quick and easy breakfast, these bars are sure to please.
