Banana Soy Baked Bars
Make these for a quick snack when you are on the go! Soy is rich in B vitamins, which are necessary for producing energy from the foods we eat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oats
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups milk (or soy milk)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy nut butter
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium ripe banana
- About ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Place the rack in the center and heat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat an 8-by-8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, egg, honey, soy nut butter, mashed banana and vanilla.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be very wet. Pour into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the batter (optional).
Bake for 35 minutes or until thickened and golden or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into bars and serve.
