Gingerbread Oatmeal Homemade Breakfast Bars (V, GF): an easy recipe for deliciously soft homemade breakfast bars filled with your favorite holiday flavors. Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy-Free.

Happy almost Thanksgiving!!! Can you believe how quickly that came? I’m a bit floored myself, but let’s just roll with it!

This year, I’ve decided that we’re starting a new tradition: we’re gonna make Christmas-y stuff the week of Thanksgiving. No more waiting for Thanksgiving to pass like turtles. We’re just gonna do it!

You in?

Last year, I waited until after Thanksgiving to share my Peppermint Crunch Bars and my Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. What was I thinking??

Okay, I was thinking you might be a tad mad and feel like I’m rushing the whole holiday thing. But… it never hurts to be prepared and extra festive right? 🙂

So this year, we’re gonna just warm up, nice and easy with Gingerbread Oatmeal Homemade Breakfast Bars. Any breakfast bar fans out there?

For you, I have the tasty following: banana chocolate chip oatmeal breakfast bars (one of my most popular recipes), pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal breakfast bars (perfect taste of fall), cranberry almond butter breakfast bars (so thick and satisfying), peanut butter chocolate chip breakfast bars (must-try), and more to come! 😉

Meanwhile, any gingerbread fans out there?

By the way, my family legit asked me if I was gonna share a super elaborate gingerbread house recipe on my blog. I was like, whaaaaaaa? I can’t! Folks love gettin’ their super easy, super simple bake/no-bake on.

To which I received a few dead-eyed, highly unamused stares.

But, come on… I know me and I know you guys, and we don’t want something really elaborate and complex, do we? Okay, if you do, just let me know. I was planning on making slightly more complex recipes next year (we can step up our game together!)

Meanwhile, I’ve had my run-ins with crafts before. (Yes, I totally count multi-level gingerbread mansions as “crafts.”) Let’s just say… I tend to go wayyyyy overboard. Honestly, show of hands for anyone who’s remotely surprised about that?

Erik and I are always repeating the mantra to ourselves, “Go simpler! How much simpler? MUCH simpler!!” And asking ourselves, “Can this entire project/process/recipe be cut down by like 90%??”

And the answer to our childlike over exuberant selves is always, “Yes.” And, “ALL the Yes’s!!!” <— See note on overexuberance.

One year, for Christmas, we made 7 different candy and cookie recipes, packed those all up into personalized gift boxes. Then, I designed a hand drawn logo for personalized iron-ons for sweaters (for EACH person coming to our Christmas celebration).

Then, yes, there’s more… we Photoshopped 6 different family portraits, made custom holiday borders, then printed out and framed those portraits to pass out to everyone. (We couldn’t get the whole family in one place to do a Christmas portrait session, so we took matters into our own hands).

And let’s just say… that was not fun. Not fun at all!

So in the spirit of dialing down all of that over exuberant EVERYTHING, I’m gonna share a super simple, extra easy, and seriously tasty Gingerbread Oatmeal Homemade Breakfast Bars recipe!

No photoshopping/ironing/packing for you! Okay, there might be packing because you’re gonna wanna give these gingerbread bars away as gifts. Just sayin’.

But skip the custom sweatshirts, will ya? 🙂
