Banana Breakfast Bars (Vegan + GF)
My Banana Breakfast Bars start your day off right, with extra protein, the perfect amount of sweetness combined with my favorite ingredient...peanut butter!! Let’s not forget, they are vegan friendly and gluten free!
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten free
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder ~20g
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper.
- Place bananas in a mixing bowl mash with a potato masher, fork or hand mixer until pureed. Stir in peanut butter, maple syrup, and applesauce.
- Add rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chocolate chips, and salt; stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into a prepared baking dish and transfer to the oven. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
- Once cooled, slice into 10 bars. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired!
