These gluten-free high protein breakfast bars are perfect for meal prep! A quick, high fiber breakfast for busy mornings that are mom and kid-approved.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with avocado oil or vegetable oil spray and set aside.
Blend oats in a high-speed blender so that turn into an oat flour.
In a large bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, shredded coconut (if using), chia seeds/basil seeds, ground flaxseed, and protein powder.
In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and almond milk.
Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until fully combined.
Transfer breakfast bar dough into the baking dish and spread out evenly using a rubber spatula or a spoon.
Bake in the oven for approximately 11-12 minutes until bars are golden brown on top and mostly firm. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
When these bars first come out of the oven, they may seem a little dry (but still delicious), but when you leave them in an airtight container on the counter, they become nice and moist the next day!
