Ingredients

Scale

1½ cups rolled oats
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 ripe banana (about ½ cup mashed)
⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana. Stir in melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine rolled oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until evenly combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and firm. The bars should spring back slightly when pressed.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing into 12 squares.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. For a vegan option, use coconut oil and maple syrup. Add toppings like almond butter or yogurt for extra flavor.
