How to Make Banana Oat Breakfast Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add melted butter and brown sugar; mix well.
  3. Stir in oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
  4. Fold in cranberries (or carrots/parsnips), and chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
