Easy Pleasin’ Oat Bars
October 20, 2006 at 3:19 am 13 comments
Another recipe from Vive Le Vegan. These bars are really a great snack…they have the consistency of a chewy granola bar. Perfect for kids…really easy to take with you. They are not too sweet…just perfect. It’s also wheat-free…which is a nice bonus.
Easy Pleasin’ Oat Bars
2 cups ground oats (blend quick oats in food processor)
1 cup quick oats
1/2 t sea salt
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup fruit sweetener or other thick honey alternative
1/4 cup vanilla or plain non-dairy milk
2 T canola oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixtures, stirring until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a lightly oiled 8 x 8 or 8 x 12 baking dish and press down until it’s evenly distributed. Using a sharp knife, cut to mark out the bars before you bake them to make it easier to fully cut and remove the bars once baked. Bake for 19-21 minutes, then remove and let cool in pan. Once cool, use a sharp knife to fully cut the bars, then remove with spatula.
Yum!

I will be trying these for a snack for Tay. He often asks for “gagala” bars…

Starbucks is now carrying a bar that’s similar to this, but that also contains dried cranberries, golden raisins, and pumpkin seeds. I might try this recipe with the addition of dried fruits and seeds! Thanks for posting this!

do you need another sweetener besides the maple syrup? Would brown sugar work? How about agave necter??

No additional sweetener needed…agave or brown sugar would work fine too. They aren’t super sweet..so if you want it sweeter you could add more. But of course, that would make it a little less
“healthy” 🙂 hee hee

Thanks for the reply. BTW…what is “fruit sweetener” I am new to all this healthy eating, but I find your site fascinating! Are you saying I can leave this out??

I made an adapted version of this energy bar today and it turned out pretty good. Thank you! 🙂

Good for you!!! I have taken on this challenge beorfe and when I slowly introduced sugars back into my diet I really noticed a difference in how I felt. You and I are like-minded, I always think about how “this or that” will make me feel beorfe I eat it. Coming from a family with a history of digestive problems(TMI…I know),I have really become more aware of what I eat, how, and most importantly, how it will make me feel!I do eat some sugar today, in fact there was some baked on the top of the scone that I had at the Give Thanks Bakery today:) However I monitor my intake and make better decision now than I did beorfe. Can’t wait to hear how it goes for you!
