Introduction
These soft and hearty breakfast bars are perfect for meal prep and busy mornings. Made with oats, bananas, and simple pantry ingredients, they are naturally sweet, filling, and easy to take on the go.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, milk, and honey. Mix well until fully combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and baking powder. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some liquid.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing into squares.
Method
Mix the wet ingredients first to create a smooth base, then fold in the oats and baking powder. Baking the mixture slowly allows the oats to soften while keeping the bars moist and tender.
