Aren’t these breakfast bars beautiful? Not only do they make a stunning presentation, but they are also delicious and healthful. Made with flavorful and beneficial ingredients like apricots, plums, tasty spices, and coconut oil, these breakfast bars are easy to make and will be a crowd pleaser. Make them the next time you host a brunch, or on any day of the week 😉
“Breakfast time in my family’s home is a hectic mix of half-hearted starts to the day, spelling tests, social media work and cleaning, all done over fried eggs and avocados, cinnamon rolls, toast and tea. Some days we’re out the door before breakfast, off to appointments, and we try to grab a smoothie or a muffin at the local deli. Despite the hectic pace of our morning (lack of) routine, I prefer a softer, easier pace – food is ordered, dishes are clean, breakfast is in hand, which is why I favor homemade breakfast bars – made the night before, and served up in the morning with tea and milk…
Lightly sweetened with coconut nectar, an amber-colored natural sweetener with a texture and viscosity similar to honey, these breakfast bars are best made with night before or on weekends in preparation for the coming week when a need for quick breakfasts and snacks will doubtlessly appear. I tend to favor the emphasis on healthy fats for breakfast, as their concentrated energy helps to provide satiation throughout the day, and coconut oil coupled with shredded coconut provides that element to these simple bars. Frosting them with stewed dried fruit helps to elevate their sweetness just a touch while also provide trace minerals.”
