Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Oatmeal Breakfast Bars combine rolled oats with cinnamon, nuts, dried cranberries, and a wet mixture of eggs, almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla. The bars are baked until golden and set, creating a chewy, moist texture with sweet-tart accents from cranberries and the warmth of cinnamon. They can be sliced into portions for convenient mornings.

Notes
- Store baked bars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze sliced bars in individual portions for convenient thawing ahead; thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Let batter rest for about 20 minutes before baking for better texture as oats absorb liquid.
