Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Oatmeal Breakfast Bars combine quick oats, applesauce, and almond milk with dried cranberries and chocolate chips for a chewy, mildly sweet snack. The use of flaxseed and coconut oil adds a subtle depth and moisture to the bars. Baking in a single dish keeps preparation simple and yields a set of grab-and-go bars suitable for a morning meal or snack.
