    These no bake apple and cinnamon oat bars are really filling and great for those of us on the go.

    I can confirm they definitely do provide a much needed energy boost!

    Just as much as my popular no-bake almond oat bars!

    These apple oat bars are deliciously chewy and at the same time the cinnamon flavours comes through really well. In fact they almost taste like apple pie!

    I'm working all over Scotland at the moment. Last week it was Inverness and Aberdeen.

    This week it's Dundee and Edinburgh.

    I'm basically doing a tour of Scotland at the moment as I project manage a new phone system  into the offices of the company that I currently work for our.

    So, these apple and cinnamon oat bars are with me, by my side, as a perfect and much needed "grab and go" snack!

    Driving all day, it's pretty tempting to eye up all the sugary chocolate snacks a petrol stations whilst filling up the car with petrol going from one location to another.

    But, fortunately I've make sure I've got my snacks covered.

    There's no need for me to give in to those unhealthy temptations when I've got these healthier home made apple bars with me!

    Why Make These No Bake Apple and Cinnamon Oat Bars?

    It was the a recent hillwalking outing that inspired these tasty no bake apple and cinnamon oat bars.

    My hillwalking buddy had brought a similar apple oat bar with him for snacking on whilst climbing, a shop bought one. I thought they tasted great, but felt they were quite sugary.

    So, in my usual way I set out trying to recreate them. Making them as simple as possible so they could easily be whipped up prior to leaving home.

    They're made with oats, apple juice, honey, coconut butter, honey and cinnamon. Just 5 simple ingredients with no baking required only time in the fridge for the bars to harden.

    That's how I ended up with these delectable no bake apple and cinnamon oat bars!

    I'm pretty sure you're going to love them too. Why not give them a go?

    How To Make Apple Cinnamon Oat Bars

    1. Place oats, apple juice and cinnamon powder together in a glass bowl, cover and place in the fridge overnight to marinate.
    2. Next morning line the bottom and sides of an 20cm x 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof / parchment paper.
    3. Gently heat and melt the coconut butter in a medium saucepan and stir in the honey.
    4. Turn off the heat. Stir in the glass bowl of the oats mixture.
    5. Empty the combined oats mixture into the lined baking tin and flatten it out by pressing down with your fingers to get it into the corners. Pop back in the fridge for a couple of hours to harden.
    6. Remove from fridge and cut into 8 bars.

      Neil, you did a fantastic job recreating those bars! These look so scrumptious - in fact, I wouldn't pay any attention to those sweet bars at the gas station if I had a couple of these by my side! Hope you are having a wonderful week in Dundee and Edinburgh

        Honestly Shashi, it's been such a busy two weeks that if I hadn't had have a couple of these bars by my side I would have struggled to do everything that I needed to do!

        Fortunately I'm back in Glasgow now and have the final couple of weeks of the project so I just need to try and get back on top of all my outstanding blogging tasks.

      Hi Neil, I am hoping to use this recipe for my little diabetic granddaughter. Her low sugars are so fast it is scary. Will keep you posted. May I alter the recipe with some raisins for additional carbs?
