Almond Butter Banana Oat Bars

These almond butter banana oat bars are super quick to whip up, only use a handful of ingredients, and are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, as they are loaded with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. I also love them for a little sweet treat after dinner. These bars are made with simple ingredients you can trust, rather than granola bars that are marketed as “healthy” in stores, but have a long list of refined and processed ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas

  • 1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats

  • 3/4 cup creamy natural almond butter

  • 3 tbsp ground flaxseed

  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
