Cherry Orange Breakfast Bars

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.

Notes

Other combinations:
