You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy these Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars. The chewy oatmeal bars topped with fresh strawberries and jam are a nutritious way to start your day! This also makes a great healthy snack or breakfast on the go! A great vegan recipe that everyone will love!
I am proud to be partnering with Silk® to bring you this tasty breakfast recipe!
These Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars were a big hit with my family and the ladies at my Mom’s work. The best part is that they are a convenient and nutritious breakfast option. I need easy breakfast because as many of you know, I am NOT a morning person! That is why I love grab and go breakfasts. Not because I am running out of the house first thing in the morning but because I am super lazy before my first cup of coffee.
These breakfast bars are fantastic with your cup of morning coffee!
And New Silk Creamers are the perfect way to enjoy a little flavor in your coffee.
My favorite flavors are Vanilla Silk Almond Creamer, Caramel Silk Almond Creamer and Hazelnut Silk Almond Creamer. Silk also offers soy milk creamers in Vanilla, Original and Hazelnut.
Silk creamers are free of dairy, lactose, gluten, artificial colors and flavors, egg, casein and cholesterol! They have also been verified by the Non-GMO Project’s product verification program.
Now I can enjoy a plant based breakfast and cup of coffee!
It took me a few tries to get the consistency of the oatmeal bars right. I wanted slightly chewy without being overly moist. These are it! Firm enough to stay together but not hard as a rock. They are between the texture of a granola bar and an oatmeal cookie.
Mix up the oatmeal bar ingredients, slather on that luscious strawberry mixture then bake. Super simple and delicious!
Cut them into squares or bars and serve as a breakfast or snack. With school right around the corner, these bars will be great for packing lunches!
And they look really pretty too. I personally don’t mind eating ugly food. So the fact that these Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars are gorgeous is just a bonus. ? ❤️ ? ❤️

I have a vegan friend that would love these as a surprise!
Yes! These will definitely be a great surprise 🙂
OMG… that is delicious.
I must try them over the weekend.
I will probably add some coconut as I love the tast of strawberry and coconut.
Oh, coconut does sound like a delicious addition!
You are a genius. This is such a great recipe. I’m not a morning person either so I love grab and go recipes too. This one is sheer perfection. Healthy, portable and beautiful. Great combination.
Thanks Kim! 🙂
Love the cashew butter in these, they look so chewy and delicious!
Thanks Gina! My daughter loves cashew butter 🙂
These breakfast bar looks great, I don’t have cashew butter but I think I can use almond butter in place of that. Thanks for sharing your breakfast bars recipe.
Yes, almond butter will work just as well 🙂
I have no applesauce but am craving these bars. Was it a substitute for butter? I’m pregnant and need these bars soon! Please advise 🙂
Thanks!
Oh no! Darn those pregnancy cravings. The applesauce is needed to add a bit of moisture to these bars so that they are not too dry. It is a sub for butter or oil. So if you feel okay about using either of those you can give it a try. Perhaps a ripe banana would add enough moisture. However, I have not attempted any of these alternatives so I can’t say that they will for sure work. 🙂
Tried coconut oil and they were a little dry so applesauce it is next time!
Ahhh, good to know. The liquid in the applesauce does add a touch more moisture. Thanks for the update 🙂
Heya 🙂 do you think i can substitute the all-purpose-flour for whole-wheat flour?Love nd peace
I have not used whole wheat flour for this recipe. I image it should work though 🙂
SHould these be kept in refidgerator after they are all done?
Yes, I refrigerate them 🙂
Do you think I could freeze these?
I’m not positive, but I think they may freeze okay. I haven’t tried it.
What can I sub for the but butter?
You can sub in any kind of nut butter or sunflower seed butter for nut free.
