Chewy, lightly sweet banana oatmeal bars made with ripe bananas and oats, perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the oats, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, milk, vanilla, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and press it down so the surface is even.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges look lightly golden and the center springs back when touched.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the pan cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes before lifting the parchment and slicing into bars.

Notes

For a firmer bar, pulse half the oats briefly in a blender to make a coarse oat flour. Use maple syrup for a vegan option.
