We all know that oatmeal is a great source of whole grain and it helps to lower the risk of many diseases. Personally, I love oats in any form though not everyone at home is a fan of it and I don’t use instant oats at all. So sometime an entire box of oats is mine, don’t think that I eat oats all the time ( I use it any other form – powder it to do coating instead of bread crumbs). Last time I have tried with oatmeal cookies and this time its oatmeal bars.
Oatmeal bars can make a good breakfast option as they are full of protein.You can just grab a bar and you are really full (with good calories). This one I want to prepare for my kids as a easy to go snacks which we can just put into the snacks box and we are done !
Oatmeal Bar
Ingredients
Rolled oats – 1 cup
Baby oats- 1/2 cup
Dry fruits ( Cranberries, raisins etc)
Dry fruits powder- 1/2 cup
Dry grated coconut- 5 tbsp
Seeds-1/4 cup( flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame)
Full cream milk- 1 1/4 cup
Egg- 1
Vanilla essence-1 tsp
Salt- 1 tsp
Honey
Method
- Mix oats, dry fruits, coconut and seeds together. I took rolled oats and baby oats (as rolled oats were no more in stock) but you can take 1.5 cup of rolled oats.
- As I was preparing this for my kids( a toddler also) so have grinded the dry fruits. Dry roast the seeds before adding them.
- Now mix all the wet ingredients. Combine both dry as well as wet ingredients.
- Preheat the oven on 200-250 c.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture on the tray and bake it for 40-45 minutes.
- While it was baking i have drizzled some honey on the top.
- Let it cool first and then cut it into the bars.
- You can store them in the refrigerator in a box or individually in a cling wrap.
These are not the crunchy bars but soft bars.
Note : I haven’t added any sugar here as with dry fruits you get the sweetness but you can add 1/2 cup-1/4 cup sugar if you like it sweeter.
Enjoy your healthy oatmeal bar as your breakfast, your snack time, picnic or anytime.

Oatmeal bar looks so nice and moist from inside. Never given a try making at home.

Thanks for sharing the recipe. For a diabetic like me, oatmeal is a regular part of my meal.
wow oatmeal bar.. healthy and sinful on its looks… love to have a bite now.
Looks delicious!
Food made with oats or sweets with oatmeal really tastes good. It's healthy of course and yummy.
Looks sweet enough for me! I gotta give this thing a try. Looks doable enough.
Healthy snack and easy to do. -KarenT
Now I'm not really too fond of oatmeal, but it looks good. Either that, or I could make it for my little one!
Is there anything that can be used to replace the full cream milk? For those lactose intolerant… thanks for sharing, I want to try making these!
The bars look lovely and moist – always hard to get that fine line with oats as sometimes I find oat bars quite dry – these look ridiculously tasty!x
Actually it is moist because of milk in it if you skip milk then it will be hard and dry.
i love oatmeal bars. would try this soon but would have to cut out the cream and substitute it for coconut oil for a healthier alternative
Nicol.. It's not cream .. Full cream milk !! Coconut oil or vco is a good option .since already adding coconut so don't want to do with coconut oil.
I'm not a fan of the instant version too and the ones that are sold are a bit too sweet for me. Imma give this a try one of these days. I'm all for homemade.
Do give them a try and best is that it is homemade!!
Someday when I have to spare, I'll give this try. It would be my first time to eat oatmeal.
great idea, making oatmeal bars instead buying the commercial readymade ones. Personally at home, we like making overnight oatmeal jars – those are yummy breakfast options too. 🙂
Awww~~~ I am seeking for the recipe of it. Thanks for sharing. I gonna try it myself.
Thanks for sharing! This will be a helpful post for not only mothers who prepare snacks for their children, but also for young busy women who are always on-the-go and needs a snack to energize themselves.
These oatmeal bars would be perfect for my trail runs. It's packed with nutrients and really healthy too.
I like oatmeal bars as a power snack. As long as it not too sweet, I will like it whatever's on it.
That looks like a truly great snack. I love oatmeal and could eat that daily.
This is like those oat meal bars that i always had for breakfast anywhere I got, just grab and go.
Such a healthy snack! I'd really love to have one bar of these oatmeal for breakfast!
