Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Method

  1. 01

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. 02

    In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth, then stir in 2 cups of rolled oats until fully combined.

  3. 03

    Fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries gently so they don't break apart too much.

  4. 04

    Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  5. 05

    Bake for 22–25 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the bars are set. Allow to cool completely before slicing into small finger-sized pieces.
