  • Yield: 1 1x

Description

Delicious and nutritious apple cinnamon breakfast bars made with wholesome oats, fresh apples, and warm cinnamon spice. Perfect for busy mornings or a healthy snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mixed varieties diced apples

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper
  • Mix Dry: Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl
  • Mix Wet: Whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in separate bowl until smooth
  • Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture, stir until just combined
  • Add Apples: Gently fold in diced apples until evenly distributed throughout batter
  • Bake: Spread in prepared pan, bake 25-30 minutes until golden and center is set
  • Cool: Let cool 10 minutes before slicing into squares for clean cuts

Notes

  • Use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for the perfect balance of tart and sweet flavors
  • Don’t overmix the batter once you add wet ingredients to prevent tough, dense bars
  • Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out with just a few moist crumbs
  • Line your pan with parchment paper extending up the sides for easy removal and clean slicing
