How to make baked oatmeal bars?

This baked oatmeal recipe is so simple to make. Just stir together the dry ingredients, then the wet and press the dough into a pan and bake!

That’s it! Here’s what you need to get started:

  • rolled oats – you can’t have a baked oatmeal with oats! I used extra thick rolled oats in this recipe but you can use regular rolled oats.
  • oat flour – about ingredient
  • almond flour – I used a finely ground almond flour. You could also use a hazelnut flour but you cannot substitute any other flour in this recipe.
  • coconut oil – coconut oil will keep the baked oatmeal from drying out
  • maple syrup – you could also use agave or honey here
  • walnuts – or your favorite nut
  • chocolate chips
  • coconut chips
  • flax egg – flax egg is one tablespoon ground flax meal mixed with three tablespoons of water to create a vegan “flax egg”
  • salt, vanilla and baking powder – salt and vanilla enhances the flavors while baking powder acts as a leavening agent

Tips and Tricks

Can you freeze baked oatmeal?

Yes! After the bars have cooled completely, place them into a plastic zip freeze bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat one, let it thaw at room temperature for 1 hour and pop it into the microwave for 10 seconds.

How to make baked oatmeal cookies?

Feeling like cookies instead of bars? I hear ya! Instead of pressing the bars into pan, use a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to make balls and press them flat. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes and the edges are golden.
