Dark brown sugar and peanut butter give these oat bars a deep, nutty sweetness, while mashed banana holds everything together without any flour in sight. Four cups of rolled oats provide the bulk and chew.
They bake in a 9×13 pan for an hour, then get cut into small, two-bite bars that are sturdy enough for lunchboxes, gym bags, or the snack drawer.
Kitchen Tips
- Pack the batter firmly into the pan with the back of a spoon. Loose batter crumbles when you try to cut bars
- The full hour of baking is important. These need time to set and firm up around all those oats
- Let them cool completely in the pan before cutting. They hold together much better at room temperature
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week
