Soft and Chewy Chocolate-Banana Oat Bars

These are great! I substituted peanut butter for the almond butter because it's what I had on hand. I made these for my son for a quick on the go breakfast and he loves them. They taste really decadent, but they're actually good for you, which is always a bonus for us moms!

My 13 year old son wanted ALL of the bars!! This was easy to make, which is a plus for my family. I agree with others - straight from the freezer is perfect!! Thanks for a delicious recipe.

These were a great guilt-free treat! I loved the texture slightly thawed right from the freezer. The texture reminded me of a no-bake chocolate oat cookie which I really liked. They had a little bit of a strong banana taste for me, but, my husband liked them as is. It could have been the size banana I used.

MMm fabulous and low guilt. Made per recipe and cut in 12 portions. I agree... right out of the freezer is best

These kind of remind me of a slightly-better-for-you no-bake cookie. I like that a lot! They're really easy to throw together and make for a good grab-and-go breakfast. I put the mixture into a 9 x 5" loaf pan instead of an 8 x 8", and then cut them into 10 bars. This made for a slightly thicker bar that didn't soften as quickly once it was out of the freezer. Overall, we really liked these! Thanks for the recipe!

Oh my word . . . these are GOOD! I made these exactly as directed, and was pleasantly surprised by the results. I actually like them slightly thawed and on the soft/chewy side. You can really taste all of the flavors in these, and one flavor does not over-power another. So easy to make too! Thanks France, for the recipe!

9.1.18 I agree with the recipe submitter. These bars do soften pretty quickly, but their consistency is spot on coming right out of the freezer. Don’t worry, you won’t break a tooth, it’s perfectly O.K. to enjoy them immediately. Not one flavor dominates, and they’re simply creamy and chocolatey. I cut mine into 16 pieces, so they’re one bite. Super easy to make, and I love having these on hand in freezer for a quick morning breakfast with a cup of coffee or a satisfying snack later in the day. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
