Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cups oats
• 1/3 cup flax seed meal
• 2 medium bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, whatever you want)
• 2/3 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans, but walnuts, peanuts or sunflower seeds will work)
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 to 2 tbsp some kind of vegan sweetener (I use honey, but I know with vegans that is a no-no)
• Enough liquid egg replacer to equal one egg
• Add a small amount of water if mixture isn't moist enough

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Add mashed bananas, liquid egg replacer, oil and honey and mix well until blended and mixture is sticky. Now this part is messy, but worth it. Shape dough into bars on a greased cookie sheet, making the bars about 1/3-inch thick. I would definitely recommend shaping all the bars at one time, because the longer the dough sits, the stickier it gets. Bake for 15 minutes in a 350 F oven.

I make these for my husband in lieu of buying him store-bought breakfast bars. They are healthier and cheaper. They aren't very sweet either, but you can add more sweetener to your discretion.
