#ad Back-to-school calls for simple recipes that make weekdays a little easier, and these Breakfast Bars with a sweet fruit filling are just the thing.

@elishalenko and I have partnered with Produce Made Simple (@producemadesimple) to share a recipe that’s perfect for meal prep and sure to become a family favourite.

Made with fresh Ontario pears or Ontario apples, along with pantry staples like oats, flour, cinnamon, and a touch of brown sugar, these bars are packed with cozy, naturally sweet flavour in a nourishing breakfast or snack. Whether you choose apples or pears, they’re perfect for busy mornings, lunchboxes, or an after-school snack with a glass of milk.

Make a batch this weekend and thank yourself when the week gets busy! 🍎🍐

Head to the link in our bios for the full recipe.

(AD) Welcome to part 1 of the new series I’m doing

(AD) Welcome to part 1 of the new series I’m doing in partnership with the Canadian Sugar Institute (@cdnsugarnutr ), where I put ChatGPT recipes to the test. First up is this high-fibre blueberry muffin recipe.

I asked for a recipe that uses simple ingredients and pantry staples and opted for the lower-sugar version (just ¼ cup). I also added 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed for an extra fibre boost.

My whole family enjoyed these muffins, but personally, I found they were a touch dry, which is what ChatGPT predicted would happen when I cut the sugar. The flaxseed likely played a role too, since it absorbs moisture.

I would make these again and add a bit of extra milk or ½ a mashed banana for extra moisture.

Food science note: This recipe included sugar in the dry ingredients, which worked fine, but sugar actually behaves more like a ‘wet’ ingredient in baking because it dissolves, holds onto moisture, and helps create a more tender texture. This may have more of an impact in a cake or a more technical baking recipe.

Have you tried recipes from ChatGPT? Have they worked well? I’ve included the recipe in the comments.

*If you have dietary concerns/restrictions, generating ChatGPT recipes may not be for you, and you should look for a reputable, trusted source or speak 1:1 with a registered dietitian about your individual needs. ChatGPT is not a substitute for nutrition advice.

Comments: Blueberry muffin recipe

Dry ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar (or use ¼ cup for a less sweet version)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Wet ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
½ a mashed banana (optional, may be a good idea if you use the lower sugar version to add more moisture)

Add ins
1 cup blueberries
2 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds
