Peanut Butter Strawberry Breakfast Bars

May 18, 2019 · FEEL-GOOD FOOD

I don't know about you, but I'm constantly rushing out of the house in the morning. I sleep as long as possible (and maybe push the snooze a few times), quickly get ready for work, pack my lunch and then...

Rumble. My stomach growls. But I need to head out the door - no time for a healthy, hot breakfast.

It's good to keep a few grab-and-go items in the house for those rushed mornings. Protein bars are an excellent option, but they usually cost a pretty penny. And on top of that, some of these processed bars are made with some sketchy ingredients. If you want to save a buck on breakfast bars and also know which ingredients are in your food, this recipe is for you!

Truth be told, I had a few bags of freeze-dried strawberries from Trader Joe's in my pantry that came to me in a teacher gift. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to use all of them, but these bars were the perfect answer. Who knew that peanut butter and strawberries could be a good combo?

Well, it turns out that they are! And on top of that, these bars are packed with natural protein to fuel your morning - perfect for grabbing on your way out the door!

Scroll down for the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups freeze-dried strawberries
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cups natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey

Directions:

  1. Prepare a 9x13 jelly roll pan with wax or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a food processor or blender, process dried strawberries until mostly powdered.
  3. With an electric mixer, combine dry ingredients.
  4. Add peanut butter and honey. Mix until well blended.
  5. Press mixture into prepared pan. Refrigerate bars for an hour, then cut into 12 squares. Bars can be stored in the fridge for a week or frozen.

Enjoy!

xo, Rachel
