Ingredients
Rolled Oats - Rolled oats have a beautiful texture and hence they are perfect for the bars. You may use whole rolled oats and or even oatmeal. Both are perfect for the bars.
Banana - You may use any ripe sweetened banana. It should measure approximately 1.5 cups after mashing. You can use any variety of bananas as you prefer. Approximately 4 medium-sized bananas mashed measured 1.5 cups.
Raisins- they are naturally sweet and blend beautifully with oats. I am using both golden and black raisins. Use any as you prefer.
Almond Butter - They blend everything beautifully and enrich the bars with protein. In place of Almond butter, you may also use any other nut butter. Peanut butter or even Cashew butter works well. You can also use sunflower seeds butter if you do not prefer nut butter.
FAQ's
Can I use frozen bananas?
If using frozen banana, Microwave the banana for one min. The banana becomes soft. You can then peel the skin and use it.
Can I replace the banana?
I highly recommend not replacing the banana. However, you can try applesauce in place of the banana. Make sure to adjust the Oats if adding applesauce.
What can I use instead of Almond Butter?
You may use Peanut Butter or Cashew Butter. All the nut butter works well for the recipe.
