Presenting to you yet another perfect breakfast ready recipe with these Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars! Each bite comes with generous chunks of chocolate, nuts and nutritious oats, leaving you craving for yet another serving.

These addictive Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars are also easy to serve, easy to transport and go well with coffee!

Before I start explaining about the recipe, let me share more about my inspiration behind these breakfast-perfect bars. For the longest time, I’ve been really driven to create breakfast bakes that can last me for the entire week ever since I started working full-time.

If you’re like me, you can check out my other breakfast recipes including my Honey Butter Nutty Granola Bars Recipe and Purple Sweet Potato Loaf Bread Machine Recipe. If there are further recipes you would like me to create, do let me know!

Now onto the making of these Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars proper. The making of these bars is absolutely easy and foolproof; simply mix and you’re all good to go! However, a word of caution is that you would want to make sure to mix sufficiently. This is important to ensure a good distribution of the wet and dry ingredients. Additionally, doing so will allow the bars to be better gelled together and the final product to be less flaky.

Also, you can exercise some flexibility and creativity in making these bars. For instance, you can choose to incorporate cranberries or different types of chocolate. For myself, I utilised three different types of chocolates as I had plenty of leftovers, and it tasted amazing!
