How to make healthy oatmeal breakfast bars

1. First of all, soak the flaxseeds powder in ¼ cup of water for 10 minutes. This water quantity is adjusted from the listed ingredient list only.
2. Sift together all dry ingredients in a bowl and kept aside.
3. In another large mixing bowl combine all wet ingredients. In addition to this add flaxseeds mixture as well.
4. Now add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and combine well. There should be no lump.
5. Mix choco chips into the wet batter. (Before combining dry ingredients take 1 teaspoon of the flour. Choco chips should be rubbed with this flour. This helps choco chips not to sink in the wet batter.)
6. Preheat the oven at 180 C.
7. Grease a square pan and transfer the batter. Sprinkle some choco chips on top of it. Bake it for 30-35 minutes.
8. Allow pan to cool down completely and then cut the squares.

For peanut butter glaze

1. In a small bowl take oil and peanut butter. Microwave it for 2-3 minutes or till peanut butter is melted.
2. Drizzle this on the top of the bar's surface. Serve them with milk, a perfect snack oatmeal flaxseeds breakfast bars are ready to eat.

Serving suggestions

Enjoy these homemade oatmeal breakfast bars during breakfast, in short trips, as an afterschool snack for kids or afternoon snack time.

Storing suggestions

• Room temperature- At room temperature, these bars are good for 24 hours. Since we used pumpkin puree, they required to keep in the fridge.
• Refrigerator- You can keep these bars in a glass container and store for up to 6-7 days in the fridge.
• Freezer- Store in the freezer-friendly bags and store for up to a month. Thaw overnight before using these. Reheat for 30 seconds before consuming.

Tips & FAQ's

1. Add cocoa powder if you like chocolate flavor.
2. I used 1:1 quantity of rolled oats and oat's powder.  Both ingredients can be used as a full quantity.
3. Avoid peanut butter drizzling in case you do not like peanut butter. I avoid it now.
4. With oats, these bars are denser. Let them cool down completely before cutting.
5. Make sure to add rolled oats as they give chewy and dense texture.
