PEANUT BUTTER AND APPLE OATMEAL BREAKFAST BARS
I rarely cook anything for breakfast. A typical breakfast for me consists of a whole wheat bagel thin with peanut butter and honey, some days I top it with sliced bananas. On the side I generally have a glass of V8-Fusion juice and a cup of tea. In the spirit of the Healthy Eats January Challenge, I thought I'd whip up a healthy, easy and quick (only 20 minutes cook time) breakfast that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Seeing as it is National Oatmeal Month, it seemed fitting that oatmeal be at the heart of today's breakfast. Feel free to substitute another fruit instead of the apple or used dry ingredients. Just make sure that your dried fruit isn't loaded with sugar or other artifical ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease an 11x7 inch baking pan. If you don't have one, you can use an 8x8, 9x9, or if neceessary an 11x13.
- Place peanut butter and butter in a microwave safe dish. Heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir together.
- Place all ingredients, except fruit, into a bowl. Using an electric beater or KitchenAid mixer, beat ingredients together for approximately 1 minutes.
- Peel a whole apple and thinly chop into pieces, no larger than the size of your thumb nail.
- Stir the apples into the oatmeal mixture.
- Pour the mixture into greased pan and press entire mixture down firmly with your fingers.
- Place pan into the oven and cook for 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. If you are using an 11x13 pan, it will take a bit less time because the mixture will be much thinner.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into strips. Let the remaining bars cool entirely before you place in tupperware or wrap them in foil.

Categories Nut
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325° F; line an 8×8" pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine Alpen No Sugar Added Muesli with preferred nuts/seeds.
- In a small, microwaveable bowl, combine peanut butter and brown rice syrup; microwave for 10 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 10 seconds.
- Stir in vanilla and pour mixture over dry ingredients; combine until all ingredients are coated and press firmly into prepared pan.
- Bake for six to eight minutes, until slightly browned; remove from oven and press the top down with the back of a spatula.
- Set aside to cool completely.
- To serve, cut into eight bars and store in the refrigerator for the week ahead; enjoy.
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter. This will make the bars smooth and creamy. If you only have crunchy peanut butter, you can use it, but the bars will have a more textured consistency.
- Don't overcook the oats. You want the oats to be cooked through, but not mushy. If you overcook them, the bars will be too soft and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape. If you cut them while they are still warm, they will be more likely to crumble.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
- You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months. To freeze them, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.
