Ingredients
- Rolled Oats: 3 cups
- Mashed Bananas: 2 large (about 1 cup)
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Melted Butter: 1/4 cup
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, mash the bananas well. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
- Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
- Step 5: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a warm, comforting treat, microwave a bar for 15-20 seconds before enjoying.
- These bars are delicious served with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
- For extra flavor and texture, add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the oat mixture before baking.
