Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Quick-Cooking Oats
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ginger ground
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips dark
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Combine quick-cooking oats, cinnamon, ginger, and dark chocolate chips in a large bowl. Set aside.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- Melt the unsalted butter using a double boiler or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Add the grated carrot, honey, and cooled melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet banana mixture, stirring until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach a consistency that holds its shape but isn't overly wet.
Bake the Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the oat mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down firmly to create an even layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Check for doneness at 25 minutes.
Cool and Cut
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bars cool completely on the baking sheet before cutting. Once cooled, cut into desired shapes (bars or hearts) using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the bars as is or drizzle with melted chocolate (optional). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Carrot Banana Oatmeal Bars
- For extra moisture, add 1/4 cup of applesauce to the wet ingredients.
- If using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, ensure the dough is well-chilled before cutting for easier handling.
- Toasted oats add a wonderful nutty flavor and enhance the texture. Toast your oats for 5 minutes in a dry skillet before using.
- Experiment with different add-ins! Dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or seeds would make delicious additions.
