Easy Energy Bars

Posted At : December 7, 2008 11:59 AM

4 ripe organic bananas
3 cups organic rolled oats, not quick
2 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup coconut flakes or shredded
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Coconut oil

Preheat oven to 350.

Mash bananas well in mixer then add all other ingredients and blend well.

Place dough on a 12x16 inch jellyroll pan that's been greased generously with coconut oil. Pat out the dough into a rectangle about 1/3" thick.

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 18 ? 20 minutes. Cool on rack 15 minutes then cut in bars. Store in air-tight container and refrigerate.

Note: Before or after baking you may brush or drizzle a generous amount of melted coconut oil on top of the bars for an extra energy boost.

This recipe makes a really tasty energy bar, I would definitely recommend adding the extra coconut oil. The bar has a soft & chewy type of texture, and has a mild flavor of the pumpkin pie spice and not too sweet. You could add honey or something to make it sweeter.

My mom fried a couple of the bars in coconut oil after they were baked, not bad. Gives them a crispy outside. :) And oh, the "dough" is not really a dough, so don't panic.

pretty good, but needs something. kind of dry too . . . thinking some maple syrup & vanilla might be helpful. i'll add more cranberries next time too.
