Stop right now! Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Bars are your new go-to breakfast!
Ok. Glad we talked about that. But really though! These healthy oatmeal raisin breakfast bars are the perfect on the go breakfast. They take less than 30 minutes to make and last for several days in an airtight container. Grab them on your way out the door or in between getting kiddos ready for school. Whether your mornings are crazy busy or slow, these breakfast bars are the perfect easy and healthy breakfast treat.
My husband is up early and out the door in about 25 minutes. He doesn’t have time to make breakfast so I try to have healthy options like these breakfast bars.
He’s not the only one that enjoys them. I don’t always have time to make breakfast either with a toddler running around and a 3 month baby that eats every 2 hours. These breakfast bars are the perfect on the go meal for me, too!
These breakfast bars are made with oats, whole wheat flour and sweetened with honey. Add ins include raisins and shredded coconut, some pure vanilla and cinnamon for flavor. You can feel good about starting your day off with one, or even two, of these!

I only wish you had the nutritional analysis for the recipe. My teens always ask me how much sugar, protein and carbs!
Jessica Erin
sorry! You can google a nutrition calculator and find out that way. Enjoy!

I just made them and they were very good, not too mushy either. Baked them until they seemed the correct texture. I also used only 1/4 cup honey and replaced the other 1/4 with unsweetened applesauce. Still sweet enough! Thank you. May add nuts next time.

Hi, thanks for the recipe! I’m going to try them out this week. I’m planning on putting a few dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries in it 🙂 I was wondering how long they will keep and if I can freeze them?
Jessica Erin
Hi Danielle! Yes, that’s fine! They will keep about 3 days otherwise freezing works well, too!

Could I sub brown sugar instead of honey? I just realized I’m out 🙁
Jessica Erin
Yes! They may not be as chewy but it will add a good sweetness.
