Easy Funfetti Oat Bars recipe. This chewy dessert idea is like getting a slice of birthday cake but a lot healthier!
Is it anyone I know’s birthday soon?
No.
Will I make Funfetti Oat Bars anyways?
When it comes to funfetti, the answer is always yes.
These oat bars kind of remind me of my Funfetti Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookie Bars, but feel a little healthier. Something about adding oats to baked goods makes them feel healthier, ya know?
Unless you decide to add ice cream on top of your stack, like I did above.
This summer, I’m adding ice cream to everything. And I’m not sorry about it.
What do you need to make these Funfetti Oat Bars?
Basically just pantry essentials for these bars. All you need is:
- sugar (brown and white)
- butter
- eggs
- flour
- baking soda
- oats
- sprinkles
That’s it!
No need to wait for anyone’s birthday to make these. Monday is a special occasion enough to make these Funfetti Oat Bars. It’s so hot in Chicago this summer, and yet I still brave the heat of the oven to make them.
