Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups instant oats
  • ¼ cup crushed walnuts (or pecans, almond slices, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dates (or prunes (or 1/3 cup date syrup or prune paste), packed )
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 medium-large bananas ( overripe, about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 cup raisins

Instruction

  • Mix dry ingredients - oats, walnuts, and seasonings - together in a large bowl.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the wet ingredients - date/prune syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and bananas. (If you don't have date or prune syrup on hand, just blend them with the coconut oil first, adding 1/2 Tablespoon of water if necessary, then add remaining wet ingredients.)
  • Pour wet mixture over oat mixture and mix well. Add the raisins and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Press mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish or rimmed sheet tray. (Rimmed dishes are best because otherwise the edges might burn.
  • Bake on 325ºf for 20 minutes, or until the mixture is solid to the touch.
  • Remove and let cool, then cut into 12 even bars. Store in a container in the fridge as is, or wrap them in saran wrap/foil/parchment paper first for easy grab & go! Once they're wrapped, you can place them in a large freezer bag and freeze them!
