Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter can sub for any nut or seed butter of choice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, mashed bananas, and peanut butter and mix well. If adding maple syrup or honey, add it now, along with any other mix-ins.
Transfer the batter to the lined pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is firm.
Remove the pan from the oven and let them cool completely, before slicing and serving.

Notes

* I like to use half rolled oats half oat flour for a more uniform texture (as pictured).

Add 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey if you prefer sweeter bars. Fold through mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds.

TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to two days. If you'd like to keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator and they'll keep for at least a week.

TO FREEZE: Place the baked and cooled healthy bars in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
