For students looking for a quick meal in the morning, breakfast bars are one option. They are quick and easy to make:
- The Night Before: Soak raisins overnight in water. Drain carefully.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Now combine sugars, yogurt, eggs, oil, milk, vanilla and peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a different bowl. Add to bowl of wet ingredients. The batter should be similar to brownie batter before you add the oats. Mix thoroughly, adding oats slowly and fold in raisins.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes.
- Cool completely and cut into bars.
For students on the go, grabbing a quick bar in the morning will help save time.
