The holidays are typically stocked full creamy, fatty, sugary filled deliciousness with added on cocktails. While amazing, this can very quickly add on the LBs leaving that sinking feeling of ‘do I have to get a gym membership for a New Years resolution?’. It’s important and smart to have something around for breakfast or snacks that is quick, filling, and still delicious so you can have an alternative to a few of those holiday treats.
This Vegan Berry Baked Oatmeal Bars recipe is the perfect sweet replacement recipe this year. Between the oats, flax seed and berries these bars are crazy filling and between the berries, vanilla, and agave nectar they’re the perfect sweet tooth craving crusher. I like to keep them in the fridge and serve them cold but heated up with a little coconut or almond milk over top would be just as delicious. Plus they look like you spent a lot of time on these gorgeous bars! Don’t worry I won’t tell your family how easy they were. Whip up two pans of these and your holiday guests will be asking for more the whole visit! Merry Christmas!
