Banana Oatmeal Bar Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bars evenly.
  2. Mash bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth to create the natural sweet base.
  3. Mix ingredients: Add rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until all the ingredients are well combined into a batter.
  4. Prepare baking dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Spread batter: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
  6. Bake bars: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the bars turn golden brown and are set in the middle.
  7. Cool and slice: Let the bars cool for at least ten minutes before slicing into squares to ensure they hold together well.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with pure maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • To make it gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • Add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
