Back-to-School Apple Oat Bars
Back to school means back to routine for most. What helps my family take on the week is a little bit of meal prep, and having these healthy oat bars on hand is a lifesaver. They are perfect for my little ones' lunch for daycare and even something I add to my lunch. (For a quick, nutritious breakfast for the busy ones out there, add a slab of nut/seed butter on top and you’re good to go.)
Back-to-School Apple Oat Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup ready oats
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp hemp seeds (optional)
¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
1.5-2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 egg
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375℃. Combine all dry ingredients together into a bowl.
Microwave Wholesyum Apple Hearts in 5-second increments until soft and purée form.
Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients until combined.
After lining a square 9x9 pan with parchment paper, scoop mixture into pan. Pat down until smooth and even. (about a half-inch thickness).
Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
Once cooled, transfer onto a cutting board and cut into bar shape. Enjoy!
NOTE: It is important not to use honey for babies under 1 year old. Other sweeteners should be used, such as maple syrup.
