Enjoy dessert for breakfast with these delicious oatmeal-raisin bars! Made from common pantry essentials, these breakfast bars offer a subtle sweetness and can be enjoyed warm from the oven or stored for several days, providing a hassle-free grab-and-go breakfast option.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup whole-milk plain strained (greek-style) yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Whisk oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl.
- Whisk eggs, applesauce, yogurt, honey and vanilla together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture; stir until just combined. Fold in raisins until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan; smooth the top.
- Bake until set and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
- Using the parchment overhangs as handles, remove the bars from the pan. Cut into 9 (2¾-inch-square) bars. Serve warm or at room temperature.
