How to Make Breakfast Muffin Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup quick-cooking oats (or your favorite cereal), 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup molasses.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup grated carrots and 1 cup chopped dates.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
