Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots for the best flavor. Fresh apricots are ideal, but you can also use frozen or dried apricots. If using frozen apricots, thaw them completely before using.
  • Toast the oats before baking for a nuttier flavor. This step is optional, but it really enhances the flavor of the bars.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown on top. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape better.

Conclusion:

Apricot Sesame Oat Bars are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
