Veggie Breakfast Bars are a healthy and delicious way to start your morning, packed with vegetables and wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan with olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, shredded cheese, and almond flour. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the vegetable mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Press down gently to compact it.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For added flavor, try mixing in some chopped spinach or kale.
- You can substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
- For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the egg mixture.
