They are really perfect as a breakfast bar in the morning when you don’t have time to cook. Or, when you want a little something sweet but don’t want to eat something with added sugar, these are great as an afternoon snack.

Oatmeal Apple Walnut Bars
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup almond milk (or coconut milk or rice milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 apple chopped
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
1/2 cup chopped dates or raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups oatmeal
Mash bananas until soft and creamy. Add apple sauce, almond milk and vanilla and stir to combine. Chop apples (you can leave the skin on), walnuts and dates and add with cinnamon to banana mixture. Add oatmeal and stir until thoroughly combined.
Spread in a 9″ square pan lined with waxed paper and sprayed with baking spray….I like the coconut oil spray from Trader Joes.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until well browned.
Cool and, by lifting wax paper out, remove from pan and cut into squares. Enjoy!

What a great idea and a great snack for children too. Thanks!
Yes, and don’t they look yummy?!
Instant or old fashioned oatmeal?
I use old fashioned but I suspect instant would also work. Thanks for asking and for visiting us at Two Chums. Let us know how you like them 🙂
Great recipe. So hard to find decent truly no sugar added things. They always cheat and pretend honey or blue agave syrupe is not sugar
I add sliced apples to the top, then bake. Very popular in my family
David glad to hear you enjoyed these and love the tip of adding the s;iced apples! I’ll try this when i next make them 🙂
