Equipment

  • 8 inch pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rolled oats
  • 1 ⅓ cups Mashed banana
  • ½ cup Water
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoon Honey
  • ¼ cup Peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 * 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and keep this aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except chocolate chips and stir until combined. Pour the batter onto the prepared pan and smoothen it with a spatula. Top it with chocolate chips if you like chocolate oatmeal bars.

  • Bake this for about 20 minutes. Turn off the oven completely. Let the pan sit in the oven for an extra 5 minutes. This will help firm up the edges.
  • Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Slice and enjoy. You can also drizzle peanut butter and honey on top if desired before serving.

Notes

  • You can mix all the ingredients and let it sit for 15 minutes before baking so that the flavors blend better.
  • Add nuts like almonds or walnuts, cranberries, and raisin or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Baking time may vary based on the thickness of the bars.
  • Use a larger piece of parchment paper than necessary. This way, you can pull out the bars easily.
  • These banana oat bars are one of the best make-ahead breakfast recipes or healthy breakfast meal prep ideas for busy mornings.
  • Once baked and cooled completely, you can cover and refrigerate it for up to five days. Or cut them into bars or slices and store them in an airtight container with a parchment paper between each piece.
  • You can also store these breakfast bars in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the microwave just before serving.
