Peanut butter banana bars
Background
I make healthy oat and banana slices every week, which I have for breakfast or as midday/afternoon snack. This time I added some peanut butter and chopped peanuts to make them protein-rich. I baked them in a bread tin, which made it easier to cut them into slices. These Peanut butter banana bars don't need any added fat nor sugar - but if you have a sweet tooth, add some sultanas/raisins/apricots to the batter.
Ingredients
- 2 large or 3 small ripe bananas
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 3 Tbsp peanut butter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup peanuts
- ½ cup dried fruits such as sultanas/raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 190°C. Line a loaf or baking tin.
- Blend the bananas in a food processor. Add the cinnamon, peanut butter, peanuts the oats. Blitz until you get a rough textured mixture. Stir in the sultanas/raisins, if used.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined tin, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden.
- Leave it to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- When completely cool, cut it into bars.
- Store them in an airtight jar or tin.
