Equipment

Notes

  • You can switch the frozen berries for any kind of frozen berry.
  • This oatmeal isn't super sweet. For older kiddos and adults, you may wish to add 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup, honey or sugar to the oat mixture. You can also swirl in some of your favorite jam for more sweetness.
  • Be sure to let the oatmeal cool completely in the pan before cutting so that you get clean-cut bars.
  • This recipe is easily doubled to feed a larger family or to prep for more days.

Allergy Swaps:

  • Gluten- Free: Already is! Just make sure your oats are certified gluten free.
  • Egg-Free: Swap the egg for a flax or chia 'egg' by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds with 2 tablespoons of water. You could also swap in half of a small mashed banana.
  • Dairy-Free: Use your favorite non-dairy milk.
  • Peanut-free: Use another natural nut-butter or sunflower butter.
