These are great to take to work, kids lunch boxes, for a potluck or a bake sale, you can slice them and stick them in the freezer then wrap tightly in foil, put a frozen wrapped bar into your kid's lunchboxes, they will thaw out by noon, they are just as good if not better than the store-bought! ---This also works well using blueberry or other flavors of jams, for easy spreading heat the jam in the microwave until softened :)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of grains. This will give your bars a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include oats, quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat.
  • Add nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They also add a nice crunch to your bars.
  • Sweeten your bars naturally. You can use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to sweeten your bars. These natural sweeteners are healthier than refined sugar and they also add a more complex flavor.
  • Add spices and extracts. Spices and extracts can add a lot of flavor to your bars. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla.
  • Press your bars firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold together better.
  • Chill your bars before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and they will be less likely to crumble.
