In case you needed a visual of what fall weekday breakfasts should ALWAYS look like…..here ya go, guys. ^^

It appears to be an oatmeal cookie disguised as a breakfast bar, jammed with cranberries and apples, and with the word breakfast slapped on there. Guess what, that is EXACTLY what it is.

A thing of breakfast beauty and a thing that will soon become as normal as grabbing your thermos full of coffee on your way out the door. That is the BEAUTY of a breakfast bar, friends.

Yes it is basically a cookie. No, I won’t tell a soul if you won’t.

Remember these beauts from a few years back? That’s the base we’re working with today because it is nothing short of a KEEPER. It’s like a basic lighter oatmeal cookie dough recipe with a little less sugar and a little less fat. Cause, you know, it is technically breakfast time still.

But that should NOT prevent you from throwing copious amounts of sweet dried cranberries + a few handfuls of fresh chopped apple into these beauties. The apple gets SUPER tender and sweet while it cooks and the cranberries keep their fantastic tang and chewy texture.

I also would not be against you covering these with frosting or glaze because weeks are loooooong as heck, ya feel?

Hello, meet your go-to breakfast for the rest of all time. As you may have guessed by now, these cranberry oatmeal breakfast bars play VERY well with all morning habits.

There’s basically nothing they won’t give you except that mornin’ caffeine which I would strongly recommend you sip with one of these suckers nearby. ??

    Not a knock on the recipe per se, but this might as well be made in a muffin pan because that’s what it comes out like texture wise. I unfortunately wanted an actual “breakfast bar”.
    Next time I’ll know to cut the flour amount way down to get more of a oat bar form.

      Hi Rob! This recipe isn’t intended to be a “granola bar” texture but rather a soft breakfast bar.
