Healthy Banana Oatmeal Bars



I love the fact that these healthy wholesome bars contain no added sugar but still taste great!  Very moist and full of healthy ingredients.  These make a great snack bar or a quick breakfast to take on the go.  I used dried cranberries but you could always substitute raisins instead.  


Only 6 ingredients needed to make these yummy bars.  Ripe bananas, applesauce, oats, almond milk, Craisin dried cranberries, and cinnamon.

Mash up three bananas in a bowl. The riper the better!


Mix in all of the other ingredients until combined well.


Spray a 9 X 13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.  Spread mixture evenly into baking dish.


Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Let cool for 5 minutes and cut into squares and remove from baking dish.  Enjoy!
