Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x12 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana. Add the remaining ingredients; oats, peanut butter, cranberries, honey, cinnamon, and salt.
Press the dough on the bottom of the pan so it is about ¼” thick.
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until it has dried enough to not be so sticky and has a little golden color around the edges.

Chef Tips

1 bar = 1 serving so a little goes a long way. Eat all sweet foods in moderation!

You can incorporate different nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) to add to the bars texture.
