Peanut Butter Breakfast Bars With Leftover Oatmeal


Peanut Butter Breakfast Bars With Leftover Oatmeal

I posted this at my breakfast blog, but decided I would post it here, too.

My kids are not big oatmeal fans, but I feel like we should have it at least once a week, especially since it's so nutritious and cheap.  I would love to be able to have it more often.  I was delighted when I came across this recipe for using leftover oatmeal.  

Peanut Butter Bars With Leftover Oatmeal

2 c. leftover oatmeal
1/2 c. butter or coconut oil, softened
1 c. sweetener (or 1/2 c. honey, just watch that it doesn't get the batter too moist)
1 egg
1 c. whole grain flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 t. vanilla

Cream butter, sweetener and eggs in a bowl.  Add oatmeal and other ingredients.  Mix well.  Spread into a greased 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.  Cool and cut.

This can also be served hot in bowls with milk on top.

  2. This is weird, I woke up in the middle of the night shivering and before I dropped back off to sleep, the realization flitted through my brain that Hath Bars is a word play on Hackbarth. So I guess I need no explanation.

    Although I do feel like part of your family, I suppose you are entitled to a family blog without me knowing of it. :-)
