Overnight Breakfast Bars Food

OATMEAL BREAKFAST BARS

Steps:

• Place rack in the center preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8x8 inch square pan with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, egg, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be very wet.
• Fold in the diced banana, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until thickened and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into bars, and serve.

EASY OATMEAL BARS (4 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl until it forms a sticky dough. If the mixture is dry and not sticky, add a bit more honey and/or peanut butter; different peanut butter brands perform differently here.
• Add a sheet of parchment paper to a 9 x 9 pan. Place the ingredients in the pan and press it into an even layer. Use a small glass to roll over the top to get it smooth.
• Freeze the bars for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or 32 rectangles. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture.

OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• To prepare bars, combine flour, oats, flax meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at low speed until just blended. Increase speed to high and beat well. Blend in eggs and buttermilk. Decrease speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, beating until just blended and scraping sides of bowl. Fold in apples. Pour into pan.
• To prepare topping, combine walnuts, brown sugar and ground cinnamon; mix well. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Uncover pan and let stand for 30 minutes. Bake 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

BAKED OATMEAL BREAKFAST BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan.
• Combine oats, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Stir egg mixture into oats mixture until well combined; set aside until flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Spread oats mixture into prepared square pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

BREAKFAST BARS WITH OATS AND COCONUT

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer and a large bowl, cream almond butter, granulated and brown sugars, and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add egg, egg white, salt and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated, occasionally scraping the side and bottom of bowl, about 1 minute longer.
• Put oats in a small bowl, sift the baking soda over them, and beat into almond butter mixture. With the mixer on low speed, stir in coconut flakes, cherries and seeds until thoroughly mixed. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the dough (still in the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days. (This allows the oats to hydrate.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a metal 9-inch square baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches to hang over 2 sides of the pan and use as handles later. Grease the parchment paper as well.
• Scrape dough into the prepared baking pan. Lightly grease a large spatula and firmly press the mixture into the pan in an even layer. Bake until the surface is light golden brown and firm, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer to a rack and allow bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a butter knife or small offset spatula to cut along the inside edges of the pan and release the bars. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift bars out of the pan and place them on a cutting board. Cut into 18 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
