    Old fashioned oats is a curvy vegan pantry staple and for good reason. It is high in healthy complex carbohydrates and contains protein.

    I use this ingredient in many recipes like pumpkin spice overnight oats, oatmeal strawberry bars, and ginger oatmeal cookies.

    Now I have been tweaking these apple butter oatmeal bars for a while now and once my homeboy gave the stamp of approval, I knew it was ready to present to the world!

    Apple Butter Oatmeal Bars Ingredients

    • Oat Flour: You can always process your old fashioned oats in a food processor to make your own oat flour or you can buy oat flour already processed.
    • Old Fashioned Oats: The star of this recipe! If you are gluten free, make sure they are certified gluten free oats.
    • Easy Apple Butter Recipe: My friend LOVES this homemade apple butter recipe and though you can buy it in the stores, there is nothing like making your own!
    • Peanut Butter: The peanut butter adds some healthy fats, protein, and calories for those vegan curves!
    • Sea Moss Milk: prefer my sea moss milk recipe because it has over 10 grams of protein per serving giving these bars a protein boost!

    Can This Recipe Be Meal Prepped?

    Yes! I meal prep this all the time!

    REFRIGERATOR STORAGE MEAL PREP

    • Cut bars in desired portions and place in air tight plastic or glass containers.
    • These bars will store properly for up to 5 days.

    FREEZER STORAGE MEAL PREP

    • Cut bars up in desired portions and vacuum seal individual bars or grab some freezer bags and place each bars into a bag
    • Place in freezer for up to 1 month.
    • When ready to consume, thaw out in the refrigerator overnight (never on the counter!)

    Substitution, Cook, and Storage Tips:

    • I use oat flour in this recipe but any flour (for the most part), should work if you do not have oat flour.
    • My Easy Crockpot Apple Butter Recipe is less sweeter than the ones in the store. But if you do not want to make your own, it is okay to use the store bought one (get the unsweetened one). If you do use the apple butter recipe, you will want to make it ahead of time.
    • These bars will store on your pantry for 24 hours, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month. Scroll up to the post to view specific meal prep tips.

    1. SPELT FLOUR: Any flour (for the most part), should work for this recipe if you do not have spelt flour.
    2. CROCKPOT APPLE BUTTER: My Homemade Crockpot Apple Butter is much less sweeter than the ones in the store. But if you do not want to make your own, it is okay to use the store bought one. If you do use the apple butter recipe, you will want to make it ahead of time.
    3. STORAGE: These bars will store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.

        The recipe has been updated and changed due to some complaints about the recipe. These are just as good if not better!
