How to Make Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, flaxseed meal, dried cranberries (or dates), cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and stir in honey and peanut butter until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly moistened.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press firmly to create an even layer.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
