Raspberry and chocolate oat bars

These raspberry and chocolate oat bars are vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free. They are yummy and thanks to the bananas, vanilla and raspberries, they are surprisingly sweet, but do add some sugar or date syrup if you have a sweet tooth! They are perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea and snacking during the day.
