1-2-3 Banana Breakfast Bars

I have made variations of this recipe for years. It is a great grab-and-go breakfast treat that can be modified by adding ingredients 4-5-6...

The BASE Recipe is:
3 ripe bananas
2 cups gluten free oats
1 cup apple sauce or chia jam

Additions include:
Ground flax seeds
Dried fruit
Diced nuts
Coconut
Seeds
Nut/Seed/Soy Butter
Cinnamon/Almond/Vanilla/Coconut flavoring

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350
• In a stand-up mixer, mash the bananas then add the apple sauce or chia jam. Once wet ingredients are combined, add the dry one cup at a time. 
• Bake 15-20 minutes in foil lined muffin cups (fun to vary the sizes you make), molds like the heart I used today (I sprayed with coconut oil for easy removal and clean up), or a parchment lined cookie sheet (about fist size).

For Valentine's Day and TODAY for Mother's Day I baked them in a heart shaped mold.

What is shown here is the base recipe using RASPBERRY CHIA JAM

SERVING SUGGESTION: Add some Nut/Seed/Soy butter for a heart warming, comfort food, treat ... peanut butter and jelly deconstructed!
