BREAKFAST BARS RECIPE
(makes 12 bars - around 65g each)
Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats (270g)
1 cup peanut butter (250g)
1/4 cup honey, agave or maple syrup (60ml)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (65g)
1/4 cup lower-in sugar fruit jam (70g)
1/2 tsp salt

NUTRITIONAL INFO (per bar):
231 calories, fat 12.2g, carb 25g, protein 8.1g

Preparation:
First, toast your oats in dry skillet for 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, your liquid sweetener, applesauce and salt. It should be smooth, so if using solid peanut butter soften over heat for 2 minutes.

Pour the oats into the peanut butter mixture and gently mix with a spatula.

Stir in your favorite fruit jam (preferably homemade or lower in sugar) and mix everything until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a lined baking pan (I use 8x8 inch or 20x20cm), press with a spatula or using an extra piece of parchment paper.

Place in the fridge to set, for at least 2 hours or even better overnight.

Remove from pan and cut into bars using a sharp knife.

Enjoy!

I make these but instead of honey I use a very very ripe banana and I smash it up first. This limits the sugar even more and it's much more affordable than honey is around my area. I then mix the smashed banana with peanut butter and also some coconut oil. You can add many other things as well as oats, such as walnuts, chia seeds, ground flax seed, coconut flakes, dried cranberries, cacao powder, the list goes on and on.

To borrow a little from Chef John: you are after all the GOAT of how to cook with an Oat!

Just made these last night for hubby. They are wonderful! I’ve already been asked to make more. I didn’t have applesauce so I just microwaved an apple and added it in. Delicious! So glad I found your channel🙌

Hi Sasha, after watching your channel I began to notice a pattern here, and it got stuck in my subconscious, I cook at a daycare center and I put oats into my pancake mix since the kids don’t seem to like regular oatmeal. They were a hit! Thanks for the inspiration, I’m gonna go find other things to put oatmeal into. Maybe ice cream. Maybe a pie. Maybe a pizza even. The work is full of possibilities. Have a good day!

What a great breakfast option! They look so quick and easy, a great way to get your oats in the morning. I'm one of those people that don't like a bowl of oatmeal, so I usually make oatmeal muffins. But this is on my agenda for a great alternative. I might sneak in some dark chocolate chips, but I've been with this channel long enough to know that it's okay to do that.😁 Thanks, Sasha! You always come through for us. (I wish with over 1300 views in the first hours more people would give this channel a "like." It helps out the channel, and Sasha deserves it for his creative ways to make our diets more healthy.) 👍💖😀😷
