Hi Friends! I have a quick little 4 ingredient breakfast bar to share with you all this week. In the spirtit of lighter cooking, these bars have no added sugar, eggs or flour. Although I prefer these in the morning with a cup of coffee, they're great pre-workout and post workout snacks as well. Add a scoop of your favorite whey protein and you have good carbohydrates, fiber, and protein.

Some notes to consider; I only had quick oats on hand this morning. Quick oats produce a softer bar. Rolled oats will give you something a little denser. Both work, just note that texture will vary with type of oats used. For thicker bars, double the recipe and bake for an additional 2-ish minutes. Peanut butter can also be swapped with almond butter.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 ripe bananas

• 2 cups quick oats

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 2-3 tbps chocolate chips of choice

---

PREP

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until softened. Add oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Combine well by hand.

Line an 8x8 square pan and lightly spray with baking spray. Spread mixture in an even layer and sprinkle with a few extra chocolate chips. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden.

Cool, cut into desired size pieces and done.

Store leftovers in air tight container in the fridge.

For macros, remember to look at individual nutrition labels, add all ingredients together and divide by number of bars you cut.

Enjoy!
