A delicious and healthy Breakfast Bar packed with oats, fruit, nuts and yogurt. A really nutritious and filling start to the day for kids and adults too!

Oat & Fruit Breakfast Bar

We all know that preparation is key when it comes to having healthy and filling breakfast options available in the morning. I love nothing more than a simple recipe that you can make ahead and keep in the fridge or freezer for busy mornings.

Today I’m sharing the recipe for these tasty Fruit & Oat Breakfast Bars from Emily O’ Leary’s new book How To Get Your Kids To Eat Anything.

The book gives practical “How To” tips on how to overcome picky eating with a 5 Phase Approach. The steps include:

  • Phase 1 – Put the unfamiliar into the familiar
  • Phase 2 – Educate
  • Phase 3 – Discover the fun in food
  • Phase 4 – Cement variety
  • Phase 5 – Step into the unknown

This recipe comes under Phase 2 – Educate, where you will teach your kids to experiment with texture and taste and understand where food comes from.

Easy To Follow Steps

It’s also a great recipe to get the kids involved in making as it’s so easy. All the ingredients get mixed together by hand in one bowl. No complicated steps or fancy equipment needed!

The mixture then gets put into a greased baking dish and topped with some fresh berries. It’s covered with foil and bakes away in the oven for 30 minutes. So quick and easy!

Once cooked and cooled you can slice into 12 large bars and they are delicious eaten hot or cold. I popped a few into the fridge for the coming days and then froze the rest. To defrost I’ll simply pop them into the fridge at night and they’ll be ready to serve up in the morning.

Healthy Oat & Fruit Breakfast Bar

For a delicious and filling breakfast simply serve alongside a portion of yogurt and some fresh fruit. These would also be perfect for a tasty and healthy afternoon snack. If you want to send them to school or nursery then leave the nuts out.

I hope you enjoyed the recipe and please do check out Emily’s book for lots more recipes and tips.
