Breakfast Brownies

Great healthy recipe for adults and children. I made a batch for my GB (grand baby) who is 2.5 years old and he loved them. I am really bad about eating breakfast myself, so these are great for me to keep at work and snack on at my desk in the morning or anytime hunger strikes. They freeze well and you can take out whatever portion you need for the day. I used 30 Cal unsweetened Almond Milk instead of the rice milk.

I was hoping that they’d be a bit more firm and chewy like the bars that you buy.

I love these bars! At first they seems a bit runny before baking, but afterwards they were a nice chewy bar. Very easy to make and very filling. Great breakfast treat on the go! I will make these again!

There is nothing wrong with this recipe. The flavor and texture were fine, nothing special. The main issue is just that I have had far better oatmeal based breakfast bars/casseroles/cookies, and so I will not be making this recipe again.

I’m a fan of oatmeal and made this recipe today with the following modifications (using what I had) –9×9 pan, regular flour, almond milk. Added raisins chopped walnuts and unsweetened coconut and an extra egg because of these additional ingredients. mixed it up popped it in the oven and cooked the recommended length of time. Removed it, covered it, etc. Turned out very moist and chewy. Not overly sweet. Though my banana could have been riper, the flavor came through. Will make this again.

I thought this recipe was fantastic! Everyone loved them in my house. These make a nice substantial snack when on the go. I did as others suggested and added a cup of peanut butter and a quarter cup of chocolate chips. I think viewers have just been thrown by the name. Perhaps they are called “brownies” because of their shape and the same way they are made in a pan. Maybe a better name would be “breakfast bars”.

Great and easy recipe! Kids LOVED it with added trail mix added in and found it filling! Perfect for busy mornings and easily customized to your own personal diets♡. Will be making it again!

I just made these this afternoon. It was so good! I read one of the reviews that said she added peanut butter. That sounded good, so I added half a cup of natural peanut butter which went well with the banana flavour. They’ll be great for breakfast on the go. Thanks for posting this recipe!

My husband and family liked this recipe however we all agreed it would taste even better if we added some fruit to it the next time we make it [for example, we are thinking to add apples next time]

I added chocolate powder and switched bananas for peaches and pecans. Then I grated almond bark across the top before putting it into oven. Texture was fine and taste excellent.

Recipe was great. We thought a tad sweet so we added a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and it was perfect.

I agree with HMG. I also did the buttermilk and was thinking I should’ve added nuts and maybe cranberries because the banana was the only thing that stood out, and we love banana. My kids (14-25)didn’t eat them so thankfully not an overwhelming amount to eat and handed some to friends. It was something to try but I too will not be making it again.

Yes,he first time we made these “brownies” (Can we not come up with a better, more appropriate name for a recipe that does not include chocolate?), they were not popular with the munchkins. Not a good sign. “Dry” was the common complaint. Next time will use all purpose flour, regular cow’s milk, and forego the flax seed meal.

I’m a bit perplexed as to how these are called ‘brownies’ when there’s not an ounce of chocolate in them? Nevertheless, they are pretty tasty breakfast bars! I only used 1/2 cup flax meal, and replaced the brown sugar with maple syrup. I also threw in some walnuts and raisins, because why not? I baked the bars in 9×9 pan and they came out beautifully–and only needed 20 minutes to bake. I do feel like these bars could use an added fat of some kind to boost the flavor–maybe a touch of oil, some whole milk Greek yogurt, or almond butter would be good. I also want to try these again with the other reviewers’ suggestion of a 1/2 cup cocoa powder to make them more “brownie-ish.” Otherwise, they’re a great grab-and-go breakfast bar! Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is a good idea but it needs a bit of tweaking. My mom and I make our own versions; she uses two ripe bananas and I use 3/4 c unsweetened applesauce

I tried a different “healthy” recipe that turned out rubbery! I thought I’d try this one because it added baking powder and all purpose flour. I added 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and a handful of chocolate chips. I used a 1/2 cup of flaxseed meal because it was all I had; will try the full amount next time. I accidentally added a cup of almond milk instead of a1/4 rice milk, and I like how they turned out! The banana was overpowering, so next time I will use 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.

yummmy yum yum

I have made this several times and sometimes used applesauce in place of banana 1/3 cup. Also added at different times choc chips, nuts, raisins, and soy instead of rice milk. I love them husband is just so so, however he has them one a day at least. Thanks

Great recipe. I added cocoa powder, for chocolate loving kids.

These were tasty but very dry. Next time I make them I will try doubling the banana and see if that helps. Other suggestions would be welcomed! Thanks!!

These have become a staple in my house. I usually make 3 batches and personalize them for people. I take out the oats and use crushed bran flakes for my youngest because she hates oats. Perfect for my oldest who’s a T1D kid.
