For students looking for a quick meal in the morning, breakfast bars are one option. They are quick and easy to make:

1. The Night Before: Soak raisins overnight in water. Drain carefully.
   
2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
   
3. Now combine sugars, yogurt, eggs, oil, milk, vanilla and peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
   
4. 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.
   
5. Pour batter into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes.
   
6. Cool completely and cut into bars.

For students on the go, grabbing a quick bar in the morning will help save time.
