Peach Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Good morning friends! Today, I am so excited to share my simple and delicious peach oat breakfast bars recipe with all of you. These oatmeal bars are so easy to make, they are budget friendly, and they taste amazing. They are perfect for the summer time since peaches are in-season right now :). I love to eat these bars for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or an easy dessert. I like to top mine with a drizzle of creamy peanut butter and some vegan coconut whipped cream, but you can add whatever you’d like on top of yours. Now, let’s go through the some quick things to note for this recipe. Then, we will go through the list of ingredients you will need to make this peach oat breakfast bars recipe a smashing success!
How To Make Peach Oatmeal Bars
Making my vegan and gluten free friendly peach oatmeal bars requires just a few simple steps. You will start by blending up some rolled oats to form a fine oat flour. To make these oatmeal bars gluten free, make sure to use your favorite gluten free rolled oats. Then, you will add the oat flour to a mixing bowl with a few other key ingredients, like cinnamon and leavening agents.
After mixing up all the dry ingredients, you will add the liquid ingredients and mix again to form a smooth oatmeal batter. You’ll fold in some fresh chopped peach pieces (and add even more on top). Then, you will bake the bars until firm. It’s as simple as that!
Once the peach oatmeal bars have finished baking, you can add a few optional toppings, which I will get into more details about below. Also, I wanted to mention that you can store your leftover oatmeal bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. I like to meal prep these bars on Sunday and enjoy them throughout the work week :).
What To Eat With Peach Bars
While these peach oatmeal bars taste absolutely delicious on their own, there are a few toppings that I like to eat with these peach bars. First off, I like to add a bit of extra nut butter on top of my peach bars.
Second, I love to add some vegan whipped cream on top of these peach bars. My go-to is coconut whipped cream, but I also like the almond milk whipped cream that comes in a spray can. Alternatively, you could have some vegan vanilla ice cream with these peach bars. All three of these options pair really well with the oatmeal bars. Now that we have covered a few quick things to note for this recipe, let’s take a look at the full list of ingredients you will need to make these peach oatmeal bars.
Peach Oatmeal Breakfast Bars – Ingredients
- Rolled Oats – The first essential ingredient you will need for this recipe are the rolled oats. These will be blended up to form a fine oat flour.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon adds a bit of extra spice and depth of flavor to these tasty peach oatmeal bars.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder acts as the first key leavening agent used in this peach oatmeal bar recipe.
- Baking Soda – The baking soda is the other essential ingredient used in this recipe.
- Fresh Peach – The fresh peach is the star of the show for this recipe. The peach flavor will be infused into the nut milk, folded into the batter for the bars, and also added on top of the mixture before it is baked.
- Nut Milk – The nut milk adds a ton of moisture and creaminess to the oatmeal bar mixture.
- Creamy Peanut Butter – The creamy peanut butter adds richness and flavor to these breakfast bars.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup serves as one of the main sources of sweetness used in the peach oatmeal breakfast bar batter.
