This is a yummy recipe I came up with while looking for a breakfast bar for my boys that were easy and healthy! These are so yummy and my boys eat them up so fast! I made a recipe last week and was commanded by the husband “you’re gonna make more right”. I wanted something easy for our rushed mornings before school and something my hubby could grab and go. They are a little messy so a bag is needed. My kids still love these. I have made them since they were toddlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think now there are some good substitutions as well, like Monkfruit sweetener, or agave, purvia, stevia, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Oven to 350 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinful Tropical Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Bars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/4 cup of Brown sugar<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 cup of Sugar<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4 cup butter<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/4 cup apple sauce or other puree –<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

             I have used butternut, sweet potato, carrot, and acorn squash as well<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 egg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 TB milk-<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

           I have substituted Almond or coconut milk for this and it came out fine!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 tsp Vanilla<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 1\/2 cup flour<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

           I usually substitute 1\/2 cup of ground flax seed or 1\/4 cup ground flax seed  and 1\/4 cup wheat germ, coconut flour or Green Bananna flour<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp baking soda<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cups oat meal- uncooked<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup coconut flakes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch pan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Beat together the sugars and butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add applesauce, egg, Milk and vanilla<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Add Flour and baking soda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Add oatmeal and coconut flakes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. add chocolate chips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread ingredients in pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook for 25-30 minutes. Makes about 32 small bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy substitutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want a healthier version you can omit the chocolate chips and add raisins, cranberries, dried apricots even. If you don’t like coconut you can switch the coconut flakes to more oatmeal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also add 1 tsp of cinnamon with the dried fruit version. You can see the other substitutions i have noted in the ingredients list as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to try new things with my recipes and i hope you like this yummy version of Breakfast bars!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
