One of my favorite things about the fall is the food that goes with fall.   There’s apples, pumpkin, cinnamon, caramel, and so many other seasonal flavors.   It just makes me feel all warm inside when I start baking with these flavors.  That’s why I’m so excited to be participating in Apple Week!

It's easy to make these delicious Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bars that you can enjoy all week long!

The first recipe I’m sharing is a breakfast recipe.   I like to make breakfast recipes on Sundays that I can portion out and enjoy all week long.   I usually make something in a big pan then cut it into pieces.   I try to make breakfast items that are filling enough to keep me going until lunch without snacking.

Everything you need to make delicious Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

One thing that always fills me up is oatmeal.  This recipe uses Flahavan’s Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal.  I find that steel cut oatmeal makes for a chewier texture in these oatmeal bars.  They contain oatmeal, apples, apple butter, and some other yummy ingredients.

These Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are a hearty and filling breakfast.  They are similar to baked oatmeal but firmer.  They still have a soft and chewy texture and they are bursting with flavor from the apples and spices.

If you don’t like or have apple butter you can substitute any nut butter in these breakfast bars.  You can also add in craisins or raisins or nuts if you’d like.  That’s the best part about these breakfast bars, you can customize them any way you want!   I like making mine with apples, flax seeds, and spices because it’s perfect for the fall.
