Oat and Peanut Butter Breakfast Bar

Looking for a simple bake to do with children?

Looking for something different to eat while social isolating that is quick and easy to make?

These little breakfast bars are a perfect way to use up some overripe bananas and simple store cupboard ingredients.

The are a cross between and cake and a flapjack.

The basic mix can be added to with whatever ingredients you have to hand - dried fruit, chocolate chips, desiccated coconut, cherries … let me see how inventive you get :-)

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas

200g rolled oats

1 tablespoon of cinnamon

2 tablespoon of peanut butter

1 tablespoon of maple syrup

100ml milk

2 tablespoons of sultans (or chocolate chips or other dried fruits)

Heat the oven to 180oC

Line a baking tray with grease proof paper

Mash the bananas in a bowl

Add all the other ingredients - with the exception of the mix and mash together until combined

Add the milk, mix thoroughly and leave to stand for 5 minutes

Bake for 12-14 minutes

Leave to cool in the tray

Cut into 9 big pieces or 12 smaller

These can be enjoyed as a breakfast bar or as a snack. Filled with fibre to support your gut microbiome.

Enjoy
