Healthy Banana Bars
These Healthy Banana Bars are a simple treat that's perfect for using up those over-ripe bananas. Great as a breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 8x8 Pan
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup fat free greek yogurt
- 2 large bananas over ripe and mashed
- 1 egg whisked
- 2 tbsp avocado oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar replacement
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and spray an 8x8 cooking dish well with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Mash your bananas well in a bowl until no lumps remain (I use a potato masher). Add egg, yogurt, vanilla, and oil and mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and whisk together.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour into pan (if desired, top with sliced banana, chocolate chips, nuts, etc) and bake 28-30 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 12 squares. Enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Pro tip: pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying!
