Berry Baked Oatmeal Bars

Berry Baked Oatmeal Bars blend rolled oats with fresh berries, maple syrup, applesauce, and spices to create hearty, baked squares with a moist texture. The oats provide a chewy base while the berries add bursts of fruity sweetness and color. The bars are lightly sweetened and spiced with cinnamon and can be refrigerated for easy snacking or breakfast. The recipe accommodates ingredient substitutions and balances whole-grain nutrition with a tender crumb.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats old fashioned
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • ½ cup almond milk or your fave milk, unsweetened
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Flaxseed ground
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup berries I used blueberries and chopped strawberries, fresh; plus ½ cup more for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine all ingredients except for the berries in a large bowl. Stir until combined and gently fold in 1 cup of berries.
  3. Pour into a 8x8 square baking pan lined with parchment. Evenly spread batter in pan and top with remaining berries. I think it looks really pretty with sliced strawberries on top.
  4. Cook for 40-45 minutes or until bars are cooked through and hold their shape.
  5. Remove from the oven, cool and then cut into 6 bars and enjoy.
  6. Store leftover bars in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy cold or reheat in a toaster oven.

Notes

  • Choose gluten-free oats if needed for dietary restrictions.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey as a natural sweetener alternative.
  • Unsweetened vanilla almond milk works well, but other milk types may be used based on availability.
  • Applesauce can be substituted with mashed banana, approximately 1/4 cup, if desired.
  • Butter can replace coconut oil if preferred.
  • Ground flaxseed may be swapped for one whole egg for binding.
  • Fresh berries are preferable to frozen for less moisture release, but frozen berries can be used if needed.
