Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal Bars are made with:
- Oats: Complex carb that is high in soluble fiber, can aid in weight loss, and lower blood sugar levels
- Bananas: healthy source of fiber and sweetens this recipe without added sugar
- Molasses: adds extra gingerbread flavor to these bars
- Coconut oil: healthy fat that contains medium-chain fatty acids and provides satiety
- Eggs: have not tried with flax or chia eggs so I can only vouch for eggs
- Collagen Peptides: healthy source of protein that may support skin, joint, and gut health
- Vanilla Protein: A good source of protein that helps to balance blood sugar
- Plant-based milk: use your favorite milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, or hemp milk
- Spices: in this recipe, we use cinnamon, allspice, and ginger for that warm gingerbread flavor
- Walnuts/Pecans: optional but adds a little crunch
Recipe Tips:
- Live at a high altitude? Reduce baking powder to 3/4 teaspoon and bake at 400 degrees
- In the morning warm up your bar and eat as is or top it with yogurt mixed with a little vanilla protein, fruit, or nut butter
- These bars also are great for grab-and-go breakfast or snacks
- If you do not have a high-powered blender first add the oats and blend till they blend into oat flour. Then add collagen peptides, vanilla protein, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend. Lastly, add in coconut oil milk, and eggs and blend till combined
- Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 6 days
