Oatmeal Zbar Dupes

July 11, 2024

Posted On

My friends, when I started my homemade journey and I made the decision to stop buying packaged snacks for my kids – the Oatmeal Zbar was probably the most missed.

The store bought and packaged Zbar contains soybean oil, refined sugar, natural flavors, soy flour, and mixed tocopherol (whatever that is). These ingredients are just not something I want in our home so I set out to find a copy cat recipe. I have tried a few other but you guys, THIS IS IT.

Prep Time: 20

Cook Time: 10

Servings: bars

Equipment

Blender or Food Processor
Spatula
Baking Sheet
Plastic Wrap

Ingredients

Bars:

5 Dates, organic & pitted
2 cups rolled oats
4 tbsp coconut oil melted or room temp
3 tbsp raw honey
3 tbsp coconut sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Icing:

3-4 tbsp Monk fruit Powder Sugar
1-2 tbsp milk, I use raw but any will work

Instructions

The Bars:

Preheat oven to 350℉.
Soak dates in warm water for 15 minutes.
In blender add dates after you drain them, 1 cup of oats, raw honey, coconut oil. Blend for 1-5 minutes.
Add other 1 cup of oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon and vanilla to blender and keep blending. If needed scrap the sides down with a spatula until fully blended into a paste.
Lay out plastic wrap about 2 feet long on your counter or table. Use left over coconut oil to spread through it – making it a non stick surface.
Add the bar dough along the length of it, and shape into a log about 1 inch wide.
Cut them about 4 inches long and add them to a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minutes at 350℉

The Icing:

While the bars are cooking, make your icing adding monk fruit powder sugar to milk and whisk until the desired consistency.
Add to zip lock and cut the corner off to pip the icing on the bars.
