Banana Breakfast bars
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup oat flour (you can make your own by grinding up oats in your blender)
1/2 cup flaxseeds
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
1/3 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup dried fruit and nuts (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
- In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, flaxseeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the applesauce, peanut or almond butter, agave nectar or maple syrup, bananas, and dried fruit and nuts, if using, and stir. The batter will look a little dry, but just keep stirring gently until all the ingredients are evenly mixed together.
