We all know I have a deep obsession with oatmeal, but it's not just me. My baked oatmeal and overnight oat recipes are the most popular recipes on my website. I have concluded that my readers and followers are big fans of all things oatmeal too. Current favorites are Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars, Banana Bread Overnight Oats and Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Cups.

Now, I know it's August, but there's nothing better than apple cinnamon oatmeal. It's a classic flavor and even when it isn't fall, the cozy flavor always hits the spot. You are going to love these breakfast bars!

Substitution and Addition Ideas

  • Add some chopped nuts into the oatmeal batter - walnuts would be great.
  • Use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon for some extra fall flavor.
  • Sprinkle some chopped dates or dried fruit into the oatmeal batter.
  • Swap out pure maple syrup for your favorite liquid sweetener.

How to Store the Bars

These bars are perfect for meal prep!

  1. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave before enjoying.
  2. To freeze, wrap each individual bar in plastic wrap. Place the bars into a freezer bag. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave before enjoying.

    Easy and toddler approved! They also double as a healthier option for a lactation treat with the oats and flaxseed! Thanks

      Another liquid sweetener of choice should work fine.

    Hi. Nice recipe. A quick question... I followed the recipe but ended up with much more batter than would work in recommended 8x8 pan. How big are the bars expected to be. Mine are about 3x3x2.5 thick. Also toothpick came out dry but bars are kind of moist, spongy. Is that the expected texture? Thanks.

      They are pretty thick. This recipe is for an 8x8 pan. Yes, that is the texture of baked oatmeal!
