Healthy Banana Oatmeal Bars
These healthy banana oatmeal bars are a delicious and nutritious snack option, packed with wholesome ingredients. Enjoy them as a quick breakfast, a grab-and-go snack, or a post-workout treat!
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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re creamy and lump-free.
- Add the rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a thick batter.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into 12 bars. For cleaner cuts, cool completely.
