Ingredients
-
3 mashed bananas (the riper, the sweeter your bars will be)
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 cups uncooked oats (I used Quaker Old Fashioned)
1/4 cup almond milk (I used Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
1/2 cup dried cranberries (or raisins if you like 'em better)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Tips
I used parchment paper and it was tough to get it into the corners. Next time I'll spend an extra 15 calories and use PAM spray on the dish!
Mine were firm on the outer pieces, but a little softer for the center piece. All held together well, much to my surprise.
These are mildly sweet, but 1 seems to stop my craving for "dessert" after dinner.
Directions
Mix all ingredients together well. Line a 9 x 9 glass baking dish with parchment paper (or spritz with a little PAM) and press mixture into dish.
Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are just browning and it feels a little firmer than when you put it in the dish.
Let cool, then cut into 9 pieces. Store refrigerated.
Serving Size: Makes nine 3 inch square bars
