Blueberry Banana Almond Breakfast Bars Ingredients and Supplies

(see recipe cards at the bottom of this post for measurements and details)

Ingredients:

  • Rolled oats (old fashioned oats) – you could also use quick-cooking oats if necessary, but the bars would have a finer, less oaty texture.
  • Almond butter – you could replace the almond butter with peanut butter, sunflower butter or a granola butter, if desired.
  • Pitted dates – the dates add the perfect amount of sweetness and an amazing chew to the bars as well as help bind all of the ingredients together once blended.
  • Mashed banana – the banana adds a nice natural sweetness and moisture to these energy bars.
  • Whole ground flaxseed meal – the flax adds beneficial nutrients and fiber to these breakfast bars, but can be omitted.
  • Sliced almonds – the almonds contribute a slight crunch to the bars that complement the chew so nicely. You could substitute the sliced almonds with slivered almonds or chopped peanuts, pecans or another nut, if desired. Or you can omit the almonds, if needed.
  • Dried blueberries – dried cranberries or dried cherries would work great, too! If you want to use fresh blueberries instead of dried blueberries, be sure they are small and firm before gently mixing them into the bar mixture.

How to Store Blueberry Banana Almond Breakfast Bars

Store breakfast bars in a sealed container, with parchment paper between each layer, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

To freeze the bars, wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer-safe plastic bag or container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

When ready to enjoy, let defrost in the refrigerator. If you’re taking the bars on-the-go in a lunch box, hiking bag, etc. to eat within a few hours from frozen, they can be thawed at room temperature while on-the-go.
