How many times now have I said that weekends are for baking? Many, many times! These Blackberry Oat Bars are little bites of oatmeal base with fresh blackberries peppered in for a little bit of tart among the sweetness of the bar. And I’ve got to say too, these are super easy to make.

The oatmeal base for these bars is made all in own bowl, and the blackberries are sandwiched in the middle to bake into perfect little bars that you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack!

I was able to lighten these bars up by using a brown sugar sweetener blend and also leaving out the pecans. I thought the crunchy oat bits on top of the bars was plenty enough crunch for me. But, if you like a more dense and nutty bar, feel free to use the chopped pecans!

I served mine with a side of fresh berries and had a great little breakfast that could have been just as easy as a meal on the go.
