    Oatmeal Bake Tiki Squares. Kid-Approved Breakfast.

    Breakfast for adults means a hot coffee, chai or cappuccino. A fruit salad, savory breakfast sandwich, homestyle potatoes, protein shake, or a blissful muffin. But kids (of all ages) like things a lot simpler than a big breakfast spread. Heck, even a bowl of oatmeal, nut butter and fresh fruit can seem to lack the simplicity that kids crave. Well how about the healthy-yummy taste of oatmeal, fruit and nuts baked into a fun square? Yes!

    Tropical Tiki Oatmeal, Squares! These kid-approved Oatmeal Bake Tiki Squares turn oatmeal into a warm chewy muffin-like treat that any kid, and OK, any adult will love. Tiki Squares combine the tropical flavors of coconut, banana and cashew nuts. Bake them once, eat them all week. And let the kids help out in the kitchen-this is a super easy recipe. Warm Oatmeal Tiki Squares anyone?….

    A Square Meal in a Square. These fluffy scrumptious squares have it all. (And guess what, they are a lot healthier than those pop-up toaster squares.) My Tiki Squares have oatmeal, soy, almond, coconut or hemp milk, fiber-rich cashews, potassium rch bananas and even some healthy flaxseed four mixed into these maple and agave-sweetened squares. Toasted-on-top coconut flakes give these squares a fun tropical tiki feel. Yummy, healthy and both kid and adult approved. You can bake them once and eat them all week. Easy as dropping something into the toaster!
