How to Make Baked Banana Oat Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup chopped nuts (optional), ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ⅓ cup chopped dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc.), 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
