Banana Bars

Ingredients

    Ingredients / Directions:

    Combine in a blender (or mash and mix by hand):
    2 Tbsp flax seeds (grind in blender first) or 3 Tbsp pre-ground flax
    3 large very ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 c)
    1/4 - 1/3 c oil or melted butter (coconut oil tastes great)
    1/4 c unsweetened apple or white grape juice concentrate (or maple syrup, or agave syrup)
    2 - 4 tsp vanilla


    Combine seperately:
    2 c large flake / old fashioned oats rolled (for gluten-free use gluten-free oats)
    1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
    2 tsp cinnamon
    *1/8 - 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg




    Mix wet with dry. Then add:
    1/2 c walnuts (chopped roughly)
    1/2 c dates (chopped roughly)
    *2 Tbsp candied orange peel (chopped finely) OR 1 tsp finely grated zest from an orange or lemon
    *2 ounces of dark chocolate (chopped roughly) OR 1/3 c dark chocolate chips


    *optional ingredients

    (if you have the time, let the batter sit for 10 minutes or longer - if not, they still work out great)

    Grease a medium-sized pan and press mixture in. Bake in a pre-heated
    oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes
    before cutting.
