Frosted Multi-Grain Breakfast Bars

Made with NO butter or oil and loaded with heart-healthy grains, these frosted breakfast bars make the best grab-and-go breakfast or energy-boosting snack!

Kickin’ Monday’s butt with glaze and multi-grain at the same time! That’s called winning at the breakfast game, friends.

This particular Monday knows zero limits in the amount of breakfast bars that have been deemed reasonable. I’m layin’ down the command that we may ALL stuff our faces with our desired number of these healthy, grain-happy bars.

Yyyesss, ma’am, if a pile of healthy breakfast bars dripping with glaze isn’t the best way to face off your first day back to post-winter break-reality then I just don’t even know what is.

Besides coffee, but that one is usually a given, and the amounts I’m planning on drinking today should probably remain unspoken. Along with the amount of these bars I’ve ALREADY demolished today.

Sidenote about coffee: HOW, you guys, am I going to make it through the long days at school without my espresso machine?? I’ve gotten completely hooked on that thing the past 5 weeks and I don’t even like to let it out of my sight.

Being forced to buy coffee at school is going to be an extremely rude awakening.

So these breakfast bars. I’m putting a label on them called All My Hopes, Dreams, and Desires.

Guys, they’re seriously the breakfast BOMB! Check it out. —>

• No oil or butter.
• No weird ingredients that you have to make a grocery run for.
• 25 minutes from start to finish.
• Ultimately-soft, so gosh-darn chewy, and seriously a texture lover’s DREAM because of all the healthy, make-you-feel-good grains.
• All the glaze dripping down the sides tricks your brain into thinking you’re eating dessert for breakfast.

Rachel absolutely flipped for these bars. She ate like three in the space of a few minutes and then said something along the lines of, “Sarah, you need to make more of those bars because I’m eating them all right now and then they’ll be gone.”

Hey, you heard the five-year old. Obviously I had to make more. Me and my partner then made a solemn pact to share the bars with each other but not with the rest of the family. *evil laugh*

I’m gonna suggest you take our advice. Hoard these and don’t share because they’re just that good. 😉
