Cherry Orange Breakfast Bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick cooking oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup wheat germ
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¾ cup dried cherries
- ½ cup blood orange infused olive oil
- ½ cup honey
- 2 eggs or 2 chia seed eggs or one of each
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 x 13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the oats, flour, sugar, wheat germ, salt and cinnamon with the coconut, and cherries to fully combine.
- Add the olive oil, honey, eggs and vanilla and mix well. The mixture will be quite sticky when everything is fully combined.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan, using the back of a spoon with a drop of oil rubbed on it to spread it evenly and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden.
- Slice into 1 x 3 inch bars while still warm and allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing them. Peel off the parchment paper and separate the bars.
