Simple Healthy Delish

Banana-Blueberry Oat Bars will most certainly become a staple in this house! Chewy and delicious.

These are vegan, gluten free (depending on the oats you use) and dairy-free ... and you would never know!

This is a variation of Banana Bread Baked Oats (here is her video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CKHqbYdD7dx/?igshid=5m68hzrad66k). I cut the recipe in half, here is my version:

•1 banana (the riper, the better)
•1 cup old fashioned oats
•1 cup almond milk
•1/4 cup fresh blueberries
•3 tbsp maple syrup
•1/4c chopped pecans
•1 tsp vanilla extract
•1/2 tsp baking powder
•1 tsp chia seeds
•1 tsp cinnamon
•Pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients and pour into a 9x9 baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes (mine took longer than suggested recipe, so bake until golden brown edges and the center is completely set)!

Perfect paired with coffee for a pre-workout or mid-day snack.😍

Give me all the power bowls.🤩
