Easy Meal Prep

Between waking up early to work out, getting ready for work or getting the kids ready for school, Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bars are an easy meal prep recipe.

The hardest part of this recipe is just chopping up the strawberries. After that, you simply mix it all together and toss it in the oven to bake. I like to pre slice all the bars for an easy meal prep plan to wake up and place it in the microwave to get ready to enjoy. Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bars will also be devoured by your kids, which will help simplify your morning when you’re in a rush.

    Check out the recipe card below for detail instructions, but one tip I would say to help speed up the recipe is to start with chopping up your strawberries as that will be the hardest part of this recipe. Yup…. it’s that easy.

Freezer Friendly

Any recipe that is freezer friendly is always a go to for me. When I was a pregnant with my second, I made a batch of these about a month before my due date to freeze. My daughter loved to eat these Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bars, so I knew it would be a perfect, easy and healthy breakfast for her and our family wouldn’t have to worry about thinking what to make her for when I would be in the hospital. Let me tell you, I was glad I made these when I did, because the next week I ended up having my baby.

To freeze these bars, simply allow them to fully cool, slice them up and place them on a baking sheet a few inches apart. After an hour or two, remove them from the freezer and place them in a gallon size freeze bag or freezer container for storage. They will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months, but they could get devoured before that.

Tasty Toppings

I love to add additional tasty toppings on to these Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bars, although they are equally delicious as is. A scoop of almond butter or peanut butter is so good and also adds some protein to your diet. Adding chopped nuts on top as well would add a nice crunch. You can also add extra fruit on top such as chopped strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or any of your favorites. Another great option is a dollop of greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey. Yum!!
