Oat Breakfast Bars are nutritious breakfast foods made primarily from oats, combined with ingredients like honey and peanut butter. They have a crispy and sweet taste, making them not only delicious but also rich in dietary fiber, protein, and various vitamins. These breakfast bars are ideal for breakfast or snacks, providing lasting energy for the body.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking dish by spraying it with baking spray or greasing it with butter.

2. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Sprinkle with coconut sugar (if using brown sugar, skip this step and mix directly), and let it sit for 5 minutes to slightly dissolve.

3. In another large bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla protein powder, salt, and chopped roasted peanuts.

4. Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk to the peanut butter mixture, and stir until well combined.

5. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl with the oats, and add almond milk and chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and well combined.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, and press it down evenly with a spatula or spoon.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• Coconut sugar is a bit coarse, so letting it sit for 5 minutes helps it slightly dissolve. If using brown sugar, skip this step.

• Baking time can be adjusted according to personal taste and oven performance to avoid burning.

• Let the breakfast bars cool completely before cutting to prevent them from breaking.
