Banana-Honey Granola Bars (Raw Food)
- Number of Servings: 36
Ingredients
1 medium, very ripe banana, peeled2 cups raw oat flakes1 cup raw almond butter or natural peanut butter1/4 cup raw honey2 TBSP bee pollen (or other 'super food' addition of your choice, I used Hemp Seed in this batch)1 tsp vanilla extract1 tsp ground cinnamoncoconut oil, raw and unrefinedI forgot to add the vanilla when I made this, but it still turned out really good, and my 21-month-old nephew loved them!
Yield: 36 Two-Bite-Size Squares
1 - Put the banana, oats, nut butter, honey, hemp seeds, vanilla and cinnamon in a food processor or large bowl and blend or stir manually until you have a stiff, cohesive dough ball. *note, this method will result in a more fudge-like square. Mix it all by hand if you want to preserve the large flakes of oatmeal and maintain that granola-bar like texture and look.
2 - Coat a 9-inch square pan with coconut oil and oil your hands as well. Pat the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Cover and place in the freezer for 24 hours so that the flavours can meld; the texture will become quite firm and chewy. alternatively you can roll the dough into bite-size balls if you wish, and store in the freezer as instructed below.
3 - Cut into three 3-inch squares in each direction, then cut each square in half as well so that you have a total of 36 squares (6 x 6).
4 - Store the squares/balls in a tightly sealed container in the freezer and consume within 2 weeks for the best flavour and texture.
