My breakfast staple for the past couple of months has been my Breakfast Muffins. I have a way of finding something I like and then not straying from it for a long, long time (my breakfast smoothie phase lasted over a year!). But, I was ready for something different, and these sounded good. They really are delicious! They are filling, too. The boys didn't rave over them, but ate a couple and said they were good, so that passes the test for me! I froze the individual bars that were left after we snacked on them and have been pulling one out each morning to cook in the microwave for about 25 seconds. Perfect breakfast!
Grab And Go Breakfast Bars
Amy (amylz)
This recipe makes about 16 bars.
1 cup oats - old-fashoned or quick-cooking
1 cup shredded wheat cereal
1 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cups dried fruit or raisins (apricots and cranberries work great)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking pan by spraying the inside lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the oats, shredded wheat, walnuts, dried fruit, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla. Add the oatmeal mixture and chocolate chips and stir to combine. Transfer to the baking pan and flatten down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to spread evenly. Bake about 18 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. Let the dish cool completely before slicing into single-serving bars. These bars freeze well. Wrap leftover portions in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in freezer for up to 2 weeks. Each bar has about 170 calories and 7 grams of fat (1.5 grams saturated fat).
