Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars

Feb 02, 2025Brenda Brink

This recipe makes about 6 cups of oatmeal 

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a pressure cooker and mix well.
  2. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 4 minutes, then allow it to naturally release.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Push dividers into the tray, setting them to the desired bar size. (we like 20 portions for bar size and 40 portions for bite size)
  5. Cover with a lid and freeze until completely solid.
  6. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 28 hours)
  7. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

Rehydration:

Add ½ cup of warm water to 2 portions of a 20-portion tray (each portion contains about ¼ cup of oatmeal). Let it sit for a few minutes to rehydrate.

Notes:

Place the dividers based on how you want to portion the oatmeal-either for easy rehydration or as a grab-and-go snack bar. These make excellent snack bars.

You can also mix in ingredients like raisins or cranberries and adjust the flavors to suit your taste.

  • Hi Steve. We are revising our recipes to reflect the number of cups it makes. You can find this info at the top of the recipe. So this recipe makes about 6 cups (1 medium tray) to make enough for an XL tray you need about 15 cups. So you would need to do 2.5 times the recipe for 1 XL tray. We also have the number of cups per tray per HR size on our website under Tips and Tricks and then Downloadable Items. Hope this helps
