Sally’s Banana Oat Bars

I make a double batch, freezing bars in plastic sandwich bags to grab and take with me, as needed.

Ingredients:

1 c. ground oats (grind in blender)

1 c. whole oats

2 ripe bananas

½ c. unsweetened applesauce or canned pumpkin

¼ c. nondairy milk of your choice

½ tsp. vanilla extract

½ tsp. bkg. soda

1 tsp. bkg. powder

½ tbsp. pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon

½ c. berries (fresh/frozen) or dried fruit/nuts

Directions:

Preheat oven 350F. Line 8 x 8" pan with parchment paper or use silicon pan. Place oats in bowl. In blender, mix until smooth: bananas, applesauce/pumpkin, milk, vanilla, bkg. soda, bkg. powder, pumpkin pie spice/cinnamon. Fold wet into dry ingredients. Add berries, dried fruit, or nuts. Bake about 23-25 minutes; be careful not to over bake!
