This banana oat bars recipe is the same as this applesauce oat bars recipe, only the applesauce has been switched for mashed bananas and banana slices. These banana oat squares are super easy to make, and they only require basic ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, oats, baking powder and salt, and bananas). This oat bar recipe is egg-free.
These oatmeal banana bars will be the perfect after-school snack for Autumn !


To make these banana oat bars, you will need to whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, oats, salt and baking powder), and then add in the softened butter. Combine using your fingers until it forms crumbs. You then have to flatten some of the mixture in a baking pan, and bake for 15 minutes.
Mash a couple of bananas, spread over the bottom of the bars, add banana slices over the mashed bananas, and sprinkle the rest of the oat crumble on top before baking for 35 minutes.
Keep these banana bars in a box for up to a week. I kept mine at room temperature.

Maybe I should've named this blog A Cup of Cookies. I do seem to share a lot more cookie recipes than recipes that involve sprinkles, after all. It's just that when it comes to baking, cookies are one of my favorite things to whip up. If I had to list my favorite things in baking, sprinkles and cookies would have to share the first spot. But let's talk about these chocolate chip banana cookies now.
This is another recipe I've used for years. I've made these banana cookies several times to get the perfect (for me anyway) recipe. I wouldn't even be able to tell you which recipe I used to make them in the first place, first because it's been so long I've forgotten, and second because I've changed ingredient measurements.
This is the perfect recipe to make if you want to use up that ripe banana that's been seating on the counter for a week. Now, I call these cookies chocolate chip banana cookies, but I do use chocolate chunks. I've said before in this best ever chocolate chip cookies recipe post that I cut up a block of chocolate to get chunks, because it's cheaper and it's got a way better chocolate to cookie bite ratio ;) You can obviously use either.
Now, don't expect crispy cookies. These banana cookies have a bit of a cake-like texture, and they'll stay soft and moist even after a couple days on the counter. :)
