No-time breakfast bars that happen to be extremely healthy for you! These are 100 percent vegan goodness and Kid approved!

  

As an adult, we live fast paced stressful lives. Many people work or go to school for long hours, so people tend to neglect their health. Breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day! Chances are the last time you’ve eaten, before the new day, was probably ten hours or so ago. Your body needs the carbohydrates, so It can refill the energy lost. If you don’t eat breakfast in the morning, your forcing the body to work harder to produce the sugar that it needs to make Adenosine tri-phosphate, which is the bodys main energy source. As a result, you could develop diabetes at some point in your life simply from not eating breakfast. However, we don’t got no time for breakfast Naomi…lol.. Hold up, wait minute,  I can show you how to make whole grain breakfast bars that are so good you wont even know they are healthy for you. They are packed with carbs, proteins, and lipids three of the four macromolecules that make up the human body. This is very easy to make, fairly cheap, and very nutritious. Follow me here because im bringing breakfast back them other foods don’t know how to act!. 

Ingredients: 

2 Cups of rolled oat  

¾ cup of uncooked quinoa (any color is fine. I used white)

¼ cup uncooked millet (bobs red mill) 

2  cups of dried mix nuts (sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit-cranberrys taste best) · For the mixed nuts and dried fruit I buy a bulk container from like costco or target 

½ tsp salt 

½ cup maple syrup 

½ cup peanut butter ( buy the real chunky peanut butter. Its usually the one where the oil seperates from butter. The other kind is okay but its loaded with trans fat that’s what holds it together in the jar.)  

¼ cup olive oil 

2 tablespoons of brown sugar ( you can substitute white as well) 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Parchment paper ( don’t use wax it will burn in the oven. Trust me)  

 Making the magic happen: Pre heat oven to 350 degrees/ bake time is 25 minutes

First, take out a square oven pan 8 by 13 and line it with the parchment paper; set aside. 

Next, toast the oats, quinoa, and millet in a wok or a pan for three minutes stirring frequently. Only toast for 3 minutes, so you don’t burn them.

 

Now, throw all the nuts and dried fruit into a big mixing bowl and place the toasted oats and salt in that same bowl and mix them around together.  

In a small saucepan, heat up the maple syrup, olive oil, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix this up really good, and make sure that everything in the pan gets melted and mixed together. You don’t want it to burn so stand there and stir until all the peanut butter has mixed with the liquid.  Pour this liquid in with the toasted oat with nuts and mix this up very well. Try to get everything mixed evenly, if possible. 

 Next, pour this mixture onto the parchment paper lined oven pan. Use a spatula or a spoon to make a nice rectangle shape about 8 inches by 13 inches. Place the pan in the oven for 25 minutes. Youll notice there done when they look alittle browned. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool before placing them in the fridge. Place in the fridge for 45 minutes. *Please wait for them to chill before cutting into bars*. 

You can cut these into bars and eat them for breakfast or even just as a snack before a jog or work out.  These store in the fridge and are readily available for you whenever your on the go. Please don’t miss breakfast anymore with these bars because breakfast is the most important meal of the day!. It could bring that sexy back!
