Soft and chewy 3 Ingredient Coconut Oatmeal Bars made with ripe bananas, oats, and coconut. A naturally sweet, healthy snack perfect for breakfast, work, and school.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups very ripe or overripe bananas, finely mashed
- 2 cups quick oats
- ¼ cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas and quick oats. Mix with a spatula until fully combined. The mixture will be very thick.
- Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread it evenly, smoothing the surface.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bars are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Let the bars cool completely before lifting out of the pan, slicing, and serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and texture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan so the bars hold together well.
- Allow the bars to cool fully before slicing for clean edges.
- Optional add ins like chocolate chips or nuts can be mixed in before baking.
