When you have a sweet tooth and want to stay on track, here’s a nice treat. Sugar is NOT an added ingredient.

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas (ripe), mashed
  • ⅓ cup apple sauce
  • 2 cups oats (rolled oats or steel cut)
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder

Method

Mix all the ingredients together. Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the dish, spread evenly, make cuts to form square bars and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 °F (180 °C), for 15-20 minutes. When cool, take out carefully and store in an airtight container.

Serves 3-4
