Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:2 C rolled oats1/2 C whole wheat flour (can use all-purpose flour)1/4 C truvia 2 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp salt1/4 to 1/2 C chopped fresh strawberriesWet Ingredients:1 banana, mashed1 C skim milk1 egg substitute1 tsp vanilla extract
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients, except the strawberries. Set those bad boys aside for later.
Step 3: In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
Step 4: Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. It will look too runny but don't worry. This is normal.
Step 5: Pour batter into a well greased 11 x 7 baking pan.
Step 6: Sprinkled sliced strawberries over batter. smooth over with a spoon.
Step 7: Bake 30-35 minutes. I usually eyeball it though. When it looks dry and slightly brown but not burnt, its done.
Step 8: Allow bars to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Then slice into 8-10 bars, remove from pan and allow to cool completely on cooling rack. Store in an airtight container. I put them in snack sized zip lock baggies. these are fairly diabetic friendly as long as you manage your portions.
I am a nanny and these are great for soccer games and for my family with a severely diabetic daughter. We can finally enjoy a snack together that keeps up their energy without demolishing my metabolism!
