Easy and nutritious breakfast bars with ingredients of your choice - perfect for a grab and go breakfast or snack. Let us know in the comments what your choice of ingredients would be. These are good warm, room temperature or cold and are healthier than most of the bars you find in stores. These can be mixed up the evening before and placed in the refrigerator. The next morning just add the ingredients of your choice and pop in the oven for a nutritious and warm breakfast.
I did some substitutions making it a sugar free version. I'll include the original recipe and note what I used for a healthier sugar free version.

OATMEAL BREAKFAST BARS
Dry Ingredients -
2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 TBLS white sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients -
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 TBLS canola oil
1 tsp vanilla

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside
Whisk the eggs and add the rest of the wet ingredients
Stir in the dry ingredients and mix well.
Let this set for at least 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350.
Add other ingredients of your choice to the mixture
examples: nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, dried fruit
(My choice was 1/2 cup chocolate chips 1/3 cup coconut and 1/4 cup chopped pecans)
Bake for about 30 minutes.

SUBSTITUTIONS FOR A SUGAR FREE VERSION
Replace the brown sugar and the white sugar with -
1/3 cup Gentle Sweet and 1 tsp blackstrap molasses
Use sugar free chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut
Other things I did -
I used olive oil rather than canola oil
My choice of milk was almond milk
I added a little more ground cinnamon
