BANANA BREAD BAKED OATMEAL BARS



Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal Bars image

This is the perfect breakfast for those days when you really want a muffin but need something hearty and healthy like oatmeal. For the best flavor use a very ripe banana. Any fruit can be substituted for the banana, including dried fruit (cranberries!) and nuts. The bars are great the next day, too. Once cool, put the bars into the fridge, then pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before eating.

From www.gingerbreadbagels.com. I am making these tonight, but needed to get the nutritional information. I left out the cinnamon, but added it to the recipe. This recipe does not have any oil, butter or pounds of sugar. In fact there's only 1/4 cup of brown sugar.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 2.6-ounce bars mild sweet chocolate (such as Hershey's Special Dark), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 cup pecans, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 15x10x1-inch baking sheet. Blend first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add both sugars and beat until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas, then vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, then chocolate and pecans.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean and top is golden, about 45 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 3x2-inch bars and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months: This will keep them fresh and delicious.
