Banana Oatmeal Bars 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.
  2. Mash bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth to form the base of the batter.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas; stir everything until well combined into a consistent batter.
  4. Prepare baking dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour and spread batter: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly into a flat layer.
  6. Bake: Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and slice: Let the bars cool for at least ten minutes in the baking dish before slicing them into squares for serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with pure maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free recipe.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Optional add-ins include nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
