I have been lacking some posts these past few days because I am out in Arizona for a cycling race! But, I made sure to make a couple extra recipes before I left and these berry protein oatmeal bars are one of them.
I pretty much eat oatmeal everyday, but I rarely bake it. I have to say, I almost like baked oatmeal better. Almost. However, I’m pretty much happy with oatmeal now matter how it is prepared. These baked oatmeal bars were a nice change to my typical morning oatmeal. They are awesome for a grab and go breakfast when you are in a hurry!
The flavor is a perfect combination of oats, berries, and vanilla. They aren’t too sweet, but just the right amount to compliments the tartness of the berries. After baking them and cutting them into squares, I topped mine with a little bit of vanilla Greek yogurt for a nice creamy sensation on top!
