3 Ingredient Oatmeal Bars
These oatmeal bars are soft and chewy and healthy enough for breakfast, snack or dessert. They are just 3 ingredients and don't need any flour, eggs, added sugar or butter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (232 g) mashed bananas
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 2 1/4 cups (198 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add bananas and peanut butter to a large mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are fully mixed and the mixture is uniform in color. Add in oats and stir until they are evenly mixed in. If adding any mix-ins, add them in now.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it across the pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until bars look set and cooked. Let bars cool fully before removing from the pan and cutting and serving. Store uneaten bars in an airtight container in fridge or freezer.
Notes
- These oatmeal bars have a very low amount of sweetness. If you prefer sweeter, you can add 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey to the batter (add it at the same time you add in the oats). You can taste the batter and adjust the sweetness as needed. You can also add mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruit or chopped nuts.
- You will need approximately 3 medium bananas to yield 1 cup of mashed bananas. It's okay if your mashed bananas have a few small chunks remaining.
- I made these bars with quick oats. You can also use rolled oats. Or you can make your own quick oats by pulsing the quick oats in a food processor until they are smaller pieces, the size of quick oats.
