Hi, It's Erin from Suburban Simplicity! I'm super excited to be here sharing my first recipe with the NY Melrose Family - and it's a good one! These Cherry Oatmeal Streusel Bars are certainly yummy (be careful, they disappear fast), but they're also a wholesome snack since they contain antioxidants, Omega-3s and fiber!

Cherry Oatmeal Streusel Bars are the perfect snack idea.

What makes these Cherry Oatmeal Streusel Bars a great snack idea?

As a busy family on the go, it's easy to gravitate towards pre-packed snack bars, but I prefer to make something more nutritious for my family and these bars do the trick. My husband doesn't even know there's a superfood hidden in here - he just thinks they're delicious! Shhh, don't tell!

Cherry Oatmeal Bars

The hubby got his first taste of what a heavenly {but healthy} homemade baked oatmeal tastes like with this recipe for Easy Oatmeal Choco Chip Cookies - It's now a family favorite and my most pinned recipe on Pinterest for months now. You can pin it here to make later.

Cherry Oatmeal Streusel Bars

Ingredients:

  • Quick-cooking oats
  • All purpose flour
  • Brown sugar
  • Whole wheat flour
  • Flaxseed meal
  • Baking soda
  • Whites lightly beaten
  • Fat-free milk
  • Canola oil
  • Vanilla
  • Dried cherries
  • Pecans or almonds

How to make Cherry Oatmeal Streusel Bars

Cherry Oatmeal Streusel Bars are easy to make, the prep time is about 25 minutes. Oh, and if you don't have dried cherries on hand, no problem, you can substitute dried cranberries or apricots. This delicious recipe makes about 20 bars.

These bars go great in lunches or double as a coffee cake to enjoy with your favorite morning beverage. They also make a tasty after school treat - I mean snack!
