DIY Meal Bars

These baked meal bars are great on the go as a quick meals on the go, or if you just don't like a big breakfast. These are quick and easy to whip together as well!



Ingredients:

2 cups oats
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup dried blueberries
1/2 dry nonfat milk
1/2 cup honey
3 TBS brown sugar
3 TBS peanut butter
1/2 tsp salt

Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper leaving enough on either side of the dish so that you can use it to lift the bars out of the dish after they have cooled.

Mix oats, almonds, cranberries, blueberries and milk in a bowl.

Combine honey, brown sugar, peanut butter and salt in a small sauce pan and heat till the peanut butter has melted.

Combine dry and wet ingredients and coat thoroughly. I just got in there with my hands to completely coat.

Press mixture into your baking dish evenly and bake at 300 degrees for 35 min on the middle rack.

Let bars COMPLETELY cool before pulling out and slicing into bars.

Take a very sharp knife and slice into the size bars you prefer!
