Oatmeal Bars with Banana and Raisins
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats (see notes re: grinding oats before adding to mixture)
- 1/4 cup quinoa flakes
- 1 tbls chia seeds
- 1/3 cup raisins (or sultanas, currants, or any dried fruit)
- 2 ripe large bananas mashed (makes approximately 1 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F)
- Line a baking dish with grease proof paper
- Combine all ingredients and add to baking dish. Using the back of a spoon even out the mixture.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. This produces a chewy bar in the centre. If you prefer a crunchy bar extend the cooking time
Notes
Depending on your child's chewing ability add the dry oats to the blender or food processor before adding the the mixture for a finer consistency
Try adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger. Seeds & nuts would also be great
If you don't have the a little enough baking dish just keep the mixture up one end. It won't run
Will keep in the fridge for a couple of day or suitable to freeze
