Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 large mashed banana
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- ⅓ cup chopped apricots
- ⅓ cup raisins
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat over to 325 degrees and toast the pecans for 10-11 minutes on a small baking sheet. Meanwhile, prepare the granola batter. In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana and peanut butter. Add maple syrup and cinnamon and whisk until combined.
- Stir in the oats, making sure that all of the oats are moistened. Add more maple syrup or peanut butter if needed. (note: the less “wet” ingredients you add, the crunchier your bars will be)
- Remove toasted pecans from oven and stir into the oat mixture. Add raisins and chopped apricots.
- Press mixture into 8×8 baking pan, making sure it is evenly distributed and tightly packed.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
