Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 ripe bananas
- 400 g gluten free oats (roughly 4 cups)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking the bars.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly using a fork until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the gluten-free oats, cinnamon, and water to the mashed bananas. Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Prepare the Baking Tin: Line a square baking tin with baking paper for easy removal and pour the banana oat mixture into the tin. Press the mixture down firmly using the back of a fork to compact it evenly.
- Bake the Bars: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bars are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the baking tin from the oven and let the bars cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, slice into 10 bars and serve.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum natural sweetness.
- Pressing the mixture firmly helps the bars hold together better after baking.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
- Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten free.
