Calories 233kcal
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups certified gluten free old fashioned oats divided
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk any kind
- 1/2 cup mashed banana ~1 large banana
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup not pancake syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup pecan halves chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees then spray an 8x8" baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Add 1 cup old fashioned oats to a food processor or high powered blender then process until oats have turned into flour. Set aside. Alternatively you could use a scant cup store-bought oat flour.
- Add milk, mashed banana, maple syrup, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla to a large bowl then whisk to combine. It's ok if your coconut oil slightly clumps up - it will melt in the oven. Add remaining 1-1/2 cups oats, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt then stir to combine. Fold in chopped pecans then pour batter into prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center has set. Check on the bars at the 25 minute mark - if the edges are browning too quickly, place a piece of foil on top of the baking pan. Cool before slicing into bars then store in the refrigerator, or individually wrap bars in saran wrap and freeze.

Notes
- I like warming the bars up in the microwave for 15 seconds or so before eating.
