Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
- First, preheat the oven to 355 °F/180°C (355°F) and line a 7x7-inch (18x18cm) square baking dish (18 cm) or 9x6-inch (23x15cm) baking pan with parchment paper.You could use an 8x8 pan, but the bars will be thinner.
- For a much larger pan, it's best to double the recipe.
- Then, process all the dough ingredients in a food processor until dough-like.
- Press ¾ of the dough into the prepared pan, using the bottom of a flat glass to help make a single even layer.
- Then, rinse the food processor and process the chocolate layer ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the chocolate layer over the oat base, and then crumble and sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top.
- Crumble the remaining 1/4 dough on top of the chocolate layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown on top, then leave the banana breakfast bars to cool completely (they will firm up/set as they cool).
- Finally, cut them into bars, and enjoy!.
- You can optionally drizzle the chocolate oat bars with a simple homemade icing (regular or sugar-free), homemade vegan Nutella, or another nut/seed butter.
