These superfood breakfast bars are packed with delicious, good-for-you ingredients.

They’re great for breakfast on the go or as a post-workout snack. Not a fan of bars? No worries. They bake into perfect cookies, too!

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Yield: 12-16 bars or cookies

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 and ¼ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup oat flour (no need to go out and buy oat flour, just pulse ½ cup oats in a food processor until finely ground)
  • ½  cup dried cranberries (or other favorite dried fruit)
  • ½  cup dried mango, diced (or other favorite dried fruit)
  • ⅓ cup chopped pistachios (or other favorite nut)
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large banana, mashed
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup milk of choice

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray, or baking sheet if making cookies.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together mashed banana, butter, honey, and 2 tablespoons of milk until well combined.
  4. Add banana mixture to dry ingredients and mix well. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes. If it looks too dry, add more milk as needed.
  5. Press dough firmly into the baking dish. If you’re making cookies, scoop dough out by the scant ¼ cup and place on baking sheet.
  6. Bake, 15 to 20 minutes, or until edges start to look golden and dry. 
  7. Cut into 12-16 bars.
  8. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days (if they last that long!).
