Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

5. STEP 5

   Add honey, vanilla, cinnamon (I always use one of these because they overpower each other), sugar (to taste) and salt. Beat again.

   Add honey and mix well. If the honey is hard, melt it.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add the puree little by little to the flakes and knead.

   When all the flakes are well wet, the puree is enough.

I recently baked similar bars for my husband and asked to make more. I found a recipe for a homemade energy bar on the website. Here the process is a little different, you need to puree a banana and an apple. I did this using a blender. I took two small bananas and apples too, because I know from previous experience that oatmeal absorbs a lot of liquid. I added honey to the puree to make it better distributed. I poured a couple more tablespoons of oil into this mixture for a golden color. The fillings I had were flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds and sesame seeds. The mixture became moist when kneading, but I would also add puree for binding. Spread the mixture over the baking sheet with a spoon, and then press it down with a cutting board. I baked it as indicated in the recipe for 20 minutes at 180°. The layer was cut after cooling. The slices crumble a little, but that’s not a big deal) The bars are a little chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Very tasty, especially with kefir or yogurt, banana tastes good. And most importantly, they are healthy, a real superfood!
