Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Apple cinnamon oatmeal breakfast bars are quick to meal prep and a high-protein breakfast or snack that are naturally sweetened and will give you energy for your day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup collagen peptides
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 apple finely chopped
- walnuts/pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×7 or 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the coconut oil and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients except the chopped apple and nuts. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in the finely chopped apple with a spoon or spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle walnuts or pecans on top (if using).
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay — you don’t want it dry).
- Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
- Optional topping: Mix vanilla protein powder with yogurt and add a drizzle of nut butter for extra creaminess and flavor.
