  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 9 bars

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup dairy free milk (such as Nutpods cinnamon swirl)
  • 2 tbsp stevia, monkfruit sweetener, or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • Your favorite add-ins (example: strawberries, blueberries, and strawberry jam)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, salt, mashed bananas, dairy-free milk, sweetener (stevia, monkfruit, or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Fold in your chosen add-ins like strawberries, blueberries, or strawberry jam for extra flavor.
  3. Smooth Into Pan: Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Cool and Slice: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice into 9 bars.
  6. Serve or Store: Enjoy the bars immediately or store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days for a convenient ready-to-eat snack or breakfast.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
  • You can substitute dairy-free milk with any milk of your choice.
  • Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Adjust sweetness level according to your preference.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh up to 4 days.
