Banana oat bars gluten-free, nut-free
1 cup dates, finely chopped
3 (very ripe) bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups brown crispy rice cereal
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (get certified GF to keep it GF)
1/2 cup oat flour
2 tablespoons avocado oil, or baking oil of choice
Optional add-ins*: raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and using the back of a wooden spoon or a spatula, press the mixture down well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the top is just starting to get golden brown.
- Allow to cool before slicing into 9 squares. These can also be cut into granola bar shapes if you prefer. I like these best stored in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
