Banana bread is old news (lockdown number one, to be precise). I love a flapjack with my afternoon coffee, but they aren’t always diet-friendly. This January I started my weight loss journey on weight watchers and started thinking about healthier alternatives I could create. These banana oat bars couldn’t be much easier to make but make a great breakfast on the go or afternoon snack. You could even spread some peanut butter on top for an extra treat!
According to Healthline, “Oats are loaded with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidant plant compounds.”, which paired with bananas that are high in potassium, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C.
Ingredients
110g porridge oats
2 bananas (over ripe)
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 teaspoon ginger powder
2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
2 teaspoon brown sugar
First, you’ll need to pre-heat your oven to 200°C or 180°C for a fan oven.
Measure out 110g of porridge oats and mash in two over-ripe bananas.
Mix in 1 tablespoon of agave nectar, 1 teaspoon of ginger and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
When combined, spread out into a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
Bake for 20 minutes. When cooked, slice into 6 bars and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Enjoy warm or keep your banana oat bars in the fridge for a quick breakfast option!
