3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Bars
These healthy oatmeal bars are great for breakfast or a snack. They are made with just 3 ingredients and don't contain any flour, added sugar, dairy, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (232 g) finely mashed overripe bananas, see note before starting
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (174 g) rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add mashed bananas and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until there is no more egg streaks in the mixture and the mixture is mostly uniform (a few small chunks of bananas are okay). Add in oats and stir with a spatula until the oats are evenly mixed in. If adding any mix-ins, add them in now.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it across the pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until bars look set and cooked. The surface of the bars should be lightly golden and when you press lightly on the surface, it should feel lightly firm and bounce back rather than be very soft and sink in. Let bars cool fully before removing from the pan and cutting and serving. Store uneaten bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- These bars are only very lightly sweetened. I found the bars sweet enough on their own. However, if you prefer sweeter desserts, you can add 1-3 tbsp maple syrup to the batter or stir in mix-ins like dried fruit or chocolate chips.
- Banana Note: 1 cup is measured after the bananas are mashed. You will need to finely mash until very little chunks of bananas remain. I recommend using a small whisk or a small potato masher. Also try to use overripe bananas which are sweeter and easier to mash.
- You can make the bars gluten-free by using gluten-free oats. I did not use gluten-free oats in this recipe.
- Rolled oats are sometimes referred to as old fashioned oats. I used Quaker Oats old fashioned oats (Amazon | Target | Walmart)*
