Love to munch on something and craving for something sweet? Brunch bars that you can buy in shops are too sweet and they have preservatives. So why not try making a big batch of these fun flavoured orange oat bars to snack on!
These orange oat bars need not be only orange flavoured. They can be made to suit your taste, plum, strawberry, mixed fruit, cherry, cranberry etc. I have made these orange oat bars with homemade orange marmalade. Mouthwatering, eh!
They make for a great snack especially for you on the go! Crunch of oats along with the flavour of your favourite fruit preserves. Super fun to eat for kids and adults alike. A glass of milk or some hot chocolate or bournvita along with this orange oat bar will make your kid look forward to evening time snacks. The healthy way!
I learnt this recipe from The Pioneer Woman and immediately loved this recipe. I have tried this recipe with different flavours, orange and cranberry are my favourites 🙂
Orange based recipes like eggless orange muffins, eggless honey cake. Try other baked recipes like cinnamon rolls and dil pasand, yum!
