Oatmeal bars
10 servings
60 minutes
Oat bars are the embodiment of simple and healthy American cuisine. Their history traces back to home recipes where caring hands mixed oats, fruits, and spices to create a nutritious and aromatic snack. These bars combine the tenderness of oats, the sweetness of raisins, and the warmth of cinnamon, complemented by soft apple puree and a hint of vanilla. They are perfect for a light breakfast or on-the-go snack, energizing you while delighting with natural sweetness. Baked to a golden crust, they achieve a pleasant texture: soft inside and slightly crispy outside. A sprinkle of brown sugar adds caramel notes, making each bite even more tempting. Oat bars are an excellent choice for those who appreciate flavor and health in one treat.
