Banana Oat Blondies

Banana Oat Blondies

Is it possible to have a healthy breakfast bar that’s also slightly decadent?  YES!!  My requirements for this recipe: easy (of course), healthy, oats, SUPER MOIST, bananas (I have a whole bunch of bananas teetering on the edge…)  The result was this amazingly delicious breakfast bar you will look forward to eating. If you like banana bread, you will love this recipe!!

As you begin your prep for this recipe, here’s a quick clean-up tip:  (Photo below) Take a square of parchment paper and fit it into your 8″ or 9″ pan.  You can lift the bars out of the pan after they are done and easily place them on a cooling rack.
