Healthy ingredient swaps

• Instead of Almond Milk, swap for coconut milk, soy milk or regular milk if that’s your thing.

• And instead of Rolled Oats, try using quinoa!

How to store your Oatmeal Bars

• Store the bars in the fridge in an air-tight container. Eat within a week for the best flavor!
• If you don’t think you’ll eat it within a week, wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store in the freezer.

Ingredients to make Healthier Cream Cheese Frosting

This healthier frosting really takes these Oatmeal Bars to the next level. If you don’t want to use this to top your oatmeal bars try using cool whip or almond butter!

1/4C Greek Yogurt

1/4C Maple Syrup

Other Toppings

I like to keep my oatmeal bars simple with just the healthier cream cheese frosting, but if you like a little crunch in your life… try topping with crushed walnuts!
