Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

These are an on-the-go oatmeal bar without the artificial ingredients of commercial bars. This is the base for the bars, a recipe easily modified to suit your own tastes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon white sugar

• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 cup milk

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoons canola oil

• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan.

  Combine oats, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
