Sweet Potato Oat Breakfast Bars (Edit recipe)

Oat bars are such an easy grab ‘n go breakfast option. I’m always looking for things that don’t take too much effort, especially recipes that don’t require expensive ingredients. There are so many ways to customize them too. Add some fruit (I love apples or pears), add nuts, add chocolate chips, maybe add in some collagen or other protein powder to get an extra protein boost.

Notes

For a quick mashed sweet potato, you can follow this recipe this recipe to cook them in the Instant Pot, then peel and mash. Otherwise you can make the sweet potatoes in advance or used canned! // These bars are not too sweet. If you want a sweeter option, then feel free to increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup instead. // The bars will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
