Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (such as raisins, chopped apricots, or cranberries)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 large Ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal of the bars.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed, dried fruit, nuts or seeds, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated and holds together.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands to ensure it holds together when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the breakfast bar to cool completely in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang.
Once cooled, cut into 8 bars. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
