Who doesn’t love a good mozzarella stick once in a while? I know I do, and making them at home is simple and easy. You will not miss the fried version after tasting these, and your kids won’t either! This is a great recipe for a party, or just as a snack for your kids. You will need my Whole Grain Breadcrumb Recipe for these, which is simple and easy as well, taking only about 5-10 minutes from start to finish. I did omit the parmesan cheese from the breadcrumbs because I didn’t really think they needed any extra cheese! A batch of the breadcrumbs will give you more than enough to bread a few sticks, and save some in the refrigerator for another meal. Tonight I am making Fish Cakes so I knew whatever I had left would be used up in those. I love a recipe that is versatile and helps me plan future meals.

Who doesn't love a good mozzarella stick once in a while? I know I do, and making them at home is simple and easy. You will not …
Ingredients
- 1 batch whole grain bread crumbs Or cut in half if you don't want extra
- 5-6 mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup whole grain flour of your choice I used oat flour because that is what the breadcrumbs use
Instructions
- Cut mozzarella cheese sticks in half. Place the oat flour in one bowl, the egg in one bowl, and the breadcrumbs in one bowl. Thin the egg with a little bit of water before starting.
- Roll each stick in the flour, followed by the egg, and then the breadcrumbs. A trick to doing this with less mess is to use your left hand for the first two and your right hand for the breadcrumbs.
- Place sticks in a glass baking pan and bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes or until outside is crunchy and inside is gooey.
