How to Make Banana Oatmeal Bars
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and stir them into the butter mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup rolled oats, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) and ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
