I love new recipes that are delicious and easy to put together. You can get these oatmeal raisin bars into the oven so quickly that you might even have time to make them for breakfast on a busy weekday morning!

This yummy breakfast bars recipe is so good and filled with whole grains. If you don't get bake them for breakfast, they work for a wonderful afternoon snack or dessert. Cleanup is a snap with only two bowls and a parchment-lined pan that doesn't even need to be washed!

To make these oatmeal raisin breakfast bars you will need the following wholesome ingredients: old-fashioned rolled oats, flour, whole-wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, ground nutmeg, salt, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract and raisins.

These oat bars are kind of like breakfast cookies, and can be served hot out of the oven for breakfast or cool and keep in an airtight container on the counter for a quick, nutritious snack during the day.

Recipe Notes

• I made these in a 11x8-inch baking pan.

• Not a fan of raisins? Leave them out or use dried cranberries, dried cherries or chopped dates.

• Store the bars in an airtight container for three days on the counter or freeze for up to two months.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square baking pan or similar-sized pan with parchment paper. Don't worry that it won't sit in the pan, the batter will weigh it down. Set aside.
2. Whisk together the oats, flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a mixing bowl.
   
3. In another bowl, stir together the eggs, applesauce, yogurt, honey and vanilla.
   
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Fold in the raisins.
   
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Do not overcook or the bars will be dry!)
   
6. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
   
7. Using the edges of the parchment remove the bars and then cut into squares.
