Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe bananas
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is firm and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into 12 bars.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
