Chocolate Cherry Breakfast Bars
healthy oatmeal bars made with no eggs
The inspiration for this healthy cherry breakfast recipe is the all-time ridiculous price of eggs!! I was fed up and put my foot down with paying such prices. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE eggs, but not when they are priced like gold. I started looking to other alternatives for a sustainable and healthy breakfast. These chocolate cherry breakfast bars are full of plant protein, fiber and bursting with delicious cherry and dark chocolate flavors. You will fall in love with these easy-to-make breakfast bars and forget all about those expensive eggs.
These are such a great grab-and-go breakfast that you can make on a Sunday for your entire week! They also go great with a hot cup of morning coffee. My recipe makes 15 large bars in a 11x7-inch pan, or you can use a 9x9-inch pan for nine, slightly thicker bars (just adjust cooking time a bit longer.) These are naturally sweetened breakfast bars, there is no processed sugar added and I also made them dairy-free because I am lactose intolerant (however you may use real dairy in equal amounts if you desire.) They will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For a warm treat, microwave for 10-15 seconds on high. (You can make this a vegan version by equally substituting the honey for pure maple syrup.)
