Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.75 cups brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 0.33 cups neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
- 0.25 cups honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries, chopped apples, or chopped nuts
Optional Streusel Topping
- 0.5 cups gluten-free oats
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cold butter or coconut oil
- 1 pinch cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, eggs, oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
Combining Ingredients
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Fold in your berries, apples, or nuts.
Optional Streusel
- If using, combine oats, brown sugar, butter or coconut oil, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use your fingers to rub until crumbly.
Baking
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle a thin layer of jam or extra fruit if you like, then add the remaining batter. Top with streusel if desired. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
Cooling and Slicing
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out and cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
Measure flours accurately by spooning the flour into the measuring cup and leveling it off, or weigh ingredients for the best results. Do not overmix; stir until ingredients are just combined to keep bars tender. Adjust sweetness to taste; if fruit is tart, consider adding a bit more honey or sugar. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not raw batter. Prevent soggy bottoms by ensuring the pan is lined with parchment and cool before slicing.
