Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.
  2. Add rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract, then stir until everything is combined evenly.
Baking
  1. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pour the banana-oat mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
  3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Serving
  1. Let the baked mixture cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
  2. Serve warm or at room temperature as a healthy snack or breakfast bar.

Notes

Feel free to customize the recipe by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor. For a denser bar, use quick oats instead of rolled oats. Ensure bananas are very ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor. Can be served warm or at room temperature, and topped with yogurt, nut butter, or fresh fruit.
