Yesterday I tried a new recipe on my Instastories, for a healthy, vegan breakfast bar. I promised that if they were a succes I would share my recipe with you on the blog. And my, where they a hit! They are hands down the most delicious breakfast bars I have ever had. They are also super easy to make and you can vary endlessly with this recipe, creating a different bar every time. You can have a homemade batch of breakfast bars ready in 30 to 45 minutes. Want to know how to make these babies? Keep on reading!

What you need to do

1. Pre- heat your oven to 180 degrees.
2. Measure your oats and milk.
3. Mash the banana and cut up the nuts and dried fruits, into tiny pieces.
4. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
5. Put a baking sheet in a baking tin. If you don’t have a baking sheet, use a bit plant based butter or coconut oil.
6. Spread your breakfast bar- mush evenly in the baking tin. Make sure it doesn’t come up too high: about 1-2 centimeters (0.4-0.8 inches) is breakfast bar material.
7. Put in the oven for about fifteen minutes (check after ten).
8. Let them cool off and cut into pieces.

These bars are the perfect snack, breakfast on the go or tasty dessert. You can keep them for about four/five days, if you store them in a plastic box in your fridge. If five bars just isn’t enough for you and your family, just double or triple up on the ingredients and you’ll be fine. And don’t be afraid to try different variations of this vegan breakfast bar!

Enjoy!
