Breakfast Bars

A baked good for breakfast you say? I’m down.

I love both flapjacks & granola more than most people, so this bake basically joins both those forces and creates the dreamiest breakfast bar that’s chewy, oaty, fruity and so easy to make. They are kind of like an oaty biscuit but with the gooeyness and texture of a flapjack.

You can make them from start to finish in less than 40 minutes, the perfect bake to knock out on a Sunday to then have for your breakfast throughout the week. They are great to make in advance if you’re busy, on the go and need something you can have quickly, or equally great to enjoy leisurely with your morning cuppa whatever. The oats and nuts will keep you full up and satisfied, and they also make for a great afternoon snack.

They are best stored in an air tight container and will keep for up to a week. This recipe makes 9 big breakfast bars.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this post and feel inspired to make something delicious!
