Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl combine the oats and coconut sugar; add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Press into a rectangle on the prepared sheet. Use the back of a flat spatula to really press it all down firmly so your bars aren't crumbly.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes then cut into squares.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

  • This simple oat square recipe is nut-free making it safe for school lunches. It also yields a good number so it’s ideal for feeding a crowd or for meal prep. 
  • For vegan flapjacks substitute maple syrup for honey.
  • Fun add-ins include cranberries or other dried fruit like raisins, walnuts, peanuts, chia seeds, and dark chocolate chips. Sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon with the dry ingredients!
  • For added protein, spread on some nut butter such as almond butter or peanut butter.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • To freeze, place the bars into a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
