You can add nuts, chocolate chips, coconut or any dried fruit...depending on what you have in your cupboard. You could also mix in some spices or even flavorings like almond or orange. The bars are quite filling, though the boys in my family who have just entered the "I am always hungry" stage ate again two hours later. They do that no matter what they eat, though.
Breakfast Bars:
1 stick butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup oatmeal
1 1/2 cups AP flour
2 Tbsp All Bran cereal
1 cup golden raisins
Beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla or other flavoring and mix well. Mix in the oatmeal, All Bran and flour followed by the raisins....or any other add ins. Spread into a greased 9X9 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Looks like a fun way to start a day!
I would love to have one of these with my morning cup of coffee. You could add so many different ingredients to these bars. I have some dried cranberries that would be perfect in this mix. Thank you for sharing love!
These are marvelous! I want one right now and can't wait for breakfast!
I bet that one satisfied his healthy sweet tooth!
This looks wholesome and chewy. I love eating breakfast and snacking throughout the entire day. This bar would be perfect!

Those look like my kind of breakfast. I love having breakfast bars, muffins, etc on hand.
Isn't it amazing what happens with boys? They never seem to be full. I always say that they have a small shark in their stomach that eats most of what is going down there. Your bars apart from their versatility whic is an asset they look crunchy and great as well.
Mmm...these look great!
Yum, looks like a great breakfast!
