These banana bars are a more healthful addition to your daily routine. Made with almond butter, whole wheat flour, bananas, and the less-refined, coconut sugar, you can feel good about snacking on these treats and tucking them into your kids’ lunchboxes. I also thoroughly enjoy them warmed with a little vanilla ice cream, but that’s up to you.
Healthy Banana Almond Butter Snack Bars
Adapted from Kalefornia KravingsThese banana bars are a more healthful addition to your daily routine. Made with almond butter, whole wheat flour, bananas, and the less-refined, coconut sugar, you can feel good about snacking on these treats and tucking them into your kids' lunchboxes. I also thoroughly enjoy them warmed with a little vanilla ice cream, but that's up to you.
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 F. Butter an 8 x 8” baking pan and line the bottom and up two sides with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl with the coconut sugar. They should be fairly broken down into a mush, but a few small chunks are okay. Add the egg and almond butter and stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir this into the wet ingredients, then add the chocolate chips.
- Place the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, until the top is springy and bars are cooked through.
- Let cool completely in the pan before using the parchment to lift out and cut into bars.
