Ingredients

4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup maple syrup optional
1 cup peanut butter * See notes
6-7 medium bananas mashed ** See notes
1 cup raisins

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add all your ingredients, except for your raisins, and mix well. Fold through your raisins, reserving a few to top the bars with.
Transfer the batter into the lined pan and top with extra raisins. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, before slicing into bars.

Notes

* You can also use smooth almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini.

** Approximately 2 cups mashed bananas. If your batter is too thin, add more oats.

TO STORE. Raisin bars should always be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks. If you prefer a softer bar, let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.

TO FREEZE. Place bars in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
