Funfetti Baked Oatmeal Bars

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
• 1 cup water
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 1/2 banana, sliced into small chunks
• Sprinkles, how ever much you want (I used 1/4 cup)

Preheat oven to 350F.  In a large bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, and salt.  Add in appesauce, yogurt, water, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup and mix well to combine.  Mixture will be runny.  Fold in banana and sprinkles.  Pour mixture into greased 8x8 pan.  Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until firm.  Remove from oven and let cool before slicing into 9 large squares.  Bars freeze well.

So here's the deal with these guys.  They take a bit of time to make, but once you bake 'em all you've gotta do it cut and freeze, and you have breakfast for the whole week!

How cool is that?  Believe me, it sure solves the breakfast in a rush situation.  Bar, fruit, done.

It's as simple (and delicious) as that.
