Healthy energy boost banana bars

I have a terrible mid morning and mid afternoon snack habit but these bars ARE THE ANSWER. They keep you full and give you a boost of energy to get you through the rest of the day...




Ingredients

2 large ripe bananas
2 cups oats
Tbs of peanut butter
Tbs honey
Handful pistachios
Handful dried fruit (dates, figs, prunes, raisins)



 Method

  1. Squish the bananas with a fork
  2. Stir in the rest of the ingredients
  3. Spread on a baking tray lined with waxed paper so the the bars are an inch thick
  4. Bake at 180 degrees for around 15 minutes until the bars have baked but are not dry and have some give in them


Have one of these with a cup of tea and you won't be reaching for lunch before 12 anymore :)

Variations

You don't have to put peanut butter in these and you can put whatever nuts, seeds and dried fruit you like in. For those super healthy among you, you can add coconut oil and flax seeds too...
