Peach-Oatmeal Bars

  

These Peach-Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast that feels more like dessert. Sweet, juicy antioxidant-rich peaches are nestled between warm spice-infused oat layers that are chewy and wholesome and become slightly caramelized around the edges. Bake these the night before and package into individual servings so they’re ready to go in the morning. Pair with a yogurt cup for a complete breakfast that will energize your morning.

Ingredients

2 medium peaches, chopped (about 2½ cups)

6 tbsp dark brown sugar, divided

1 tbsp lemon juice

¾ tsp salt, divided

⅔ cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp vanilla extract

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon pdr

½ tsp cardamom pdr

2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

 

Directions

Combine chopped peaches, 1½ tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until starting to gently simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches have softened and released juices, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a small heatproof bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.  

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square baking pan with cooking spray. Whisk ⅔ cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon each baking powder, cinnamon and cardamom, and the remaining 4½ tablespoons brown sugar and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. 

Fold 2½ cups oats into the milk mixture until combined. Spoon about half (about 1 cup) of the oat mixture into the prepared pan; spread in an even layer. Spoon 1 cup of the peach mixture over the oat mixture; spread the remaining oat mixture over the peaches. Top with the remaining ½ cup peach mixture. 

Bake until just set in the center and golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing.
