It was good but I think it needed a little bit more of sweetness. The texture was different. I cooked it the day before and left it out to cool down. For dinner we tried it again but this time i put it in the fridge and added whipped cream on top. It tasted much better even the texture it was better. Thank you for the recipe.

Finally, a handlheld breakfast I don’t feel bad about. These are great!
Some of the proportions didn’t quite work out for me, but I improvised and am very happy with this. I usually have everything but the fruits so it’s a great way to get those into my rotation. Thank you!

These bars look great, thanks for sharing! I’m gluten sensitive and have started reacting to oats as well, do you think I could substitute the oats for quinoa flakes? Thanks! 🙂

Hi Alyssa, thanks for sharing your recipes! I’ve loved every one that I’ve tried! I was wondering if you could use, or if you’ve tried using, old fashioned oats instead of quick cooking oats? Thanks!

Does the nut/seed butter and blueberry taste good together? I would probably use peanut butter. Will that taste good? Seems those two flavors aren’t commonly used together.

Just curious as to what is a serving of these bars? Can’t wait to try them.

I never comment on recipes, but I feel moved to comment on this one… I’ve eaten two of these almost every morning for the past four months. I make double batches and freeze 18 servings, keeping 6-12 servings in the fridge at all times. This recipe has been part of my success on Weight Watchers (each serving is 4 SmartPoints) – I’ve lost 45 pounds in the past four months and feel GREAT!

I also like these with raspberries or a mix of blueberries and raspberries, and I’ve found that frozen berries work great. I also usually make these as muffins rather than in a pan.

Thank you for the best breakfast I’ve found in a long time!

I made these last night and I ended up eating 3 of them! I cut the recipe in half but still baked them in the same size pan, so mine are of course a lot thinner than the ones in the photos. And I still baked them for 35 minutes to dry them out more. I used flax seeds instead of hemp seeds since they’re so expensive. I’ve never used hemp seeds before so I have no idea how differently the recipe would’ve been had I used them instead of my flax seeds. I think they turned out great though! I used a mixture of blueberries and raspberries and I’m really glad I did because my blueberries were very mild tasting and the raspberries were full of flavor and gave it a really nice tartness while still being very sweet and yummy. I let them sit out overnight with just a paper towel laying over the pan. They’re still very moist on the bottom so I decided to turn them over and bake in the toaster oven for about 5 minutes and that dried the bottoms up good. They’re still very tasty! Just curious, do the hemp seeds soak up a lot of moisture? I’m just wondering if they would’ve made much difference to the consistency over the flax seeds

These look SO good…can’t wait to try them! Question, I don’t have quick cooking oatmeal so can I use regular old fashioned oatmeal?
I’ve been looking for recipes to make for breakfast that include healthy ingredients and can be taken on the go…these seem like a great option!

Would you have an alternative for the hemp seeds? Or could you leave them out altogether?
Thanks

These are very yummy! I didn’t have hemp seeds so I subbed for pumpkin seeds and also added 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Thanks for the recipe!

I just made these and love them! I did make few substitutions and they still came out delicious.

I used buckwheat groats instead of rolled oats, and instead of coconut sugar I used the remaining sweetened coconut flakes I had with about 2 tablespoons of honey.

I used peanut butter, well-ripened bananas, and frozen blueberries in addition to the other listed ingredients.

I’m so glad to have this recipe and that flavor of the groats worked so well (I’ve never used them before). Things held together great and the moisture seemed well balanced.

I made these today and they came out fantastic!

I was wondering, do these bars freeze well?

Would it still be edible without the sugar? Maybe add an extra banana for sweetness? Thanks in advance

Hey Alyssa, I don’t have hemp seeds or coconut sugar. Can I leave out the hemp seeds and use sugar in the raw instead? Thanks, can’t wait to make this!!
