Banana Oat Bars

Meh. Decent flavor, strange texture, and the recipe needs to add salt. I will not make this again.

Made it as is – if I do again though I might try the 8 by 8 pan

I didn’t like the consistency. I agree it should have flour and whole egg. Mine crumbled awful, but the flavor was great. Definitely add the cinnamon sugar on the top.

I paid attention to the other reviewers and I also made the following changes : I added about a 1/3 cup of flour, scant 2 Tbs of vegetable oil, used a whole egg (why give up all the great things an egg yolk has in it?) and added a handful of walnuts. If I had brown sugar I would also have done half brown and white. I baked it in a 8×8 pan (this really made the difference)and it still remains almost as healthy as the original and much more flavorful. With the changes it was quite good, almost like a soft oatmeal cookie.

Odd recipe. No flower? Why add levening if there is no flower? The taste is ok, but over all this is a flop.

Edible I guess, but these somehow came out like one of the awful recipes we make during Passover in an attempt to make “treats” based entirely on matzo or matzo meal. Like, ok to eat when there’s nothing better for 8 days, but you wouldn’t strive to eat them on a regular basis when there’s perfectly good Oreos in the cabinet!

didn’t think there was enough taste to it

Delicious

Love this recipe for my frozen over-ripe bananas! I just use one whole egg instead of egg whites and no raisins. I like to add a little crunchy peanut butter for texture and richness. I use a 8×8 glass baking dish and it comes out like a moist cake.

I loved them! My husband didn’t like the texture (they were moist and chewy, he expected more cookie-like). I used half raisins and half craisins. Great night snack for me.

Came out great! Followed the recipe to a tee!

Real easy recipe to follow .. No review on taste yet… I doubled the recipe and used a 9×13 pan; Changed the following ingredients using: 1% milk, whole eggs and craisans (didn’t have any raisins), and ½ the sugar; Also added: 1 cup ea. chopped cashews, chocolate chips, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1 additional cup of oats. Reduced the baking time to 25 minutes, top was nicely browned and toothpick came out clean.

We loved them. We did the 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar, and a 1 whole egg. I also used craisins for even less sugar. They turned out fantastic! We might try them again using equal or monkfruit.

Good taste but much too wet. I added a little shredded sweetened coconut in the batter and on top. They were rubbery so I put the cut bars directly on the oven rack and dried them for about 45 min at 275F. They were still pliable when I took them out but stiffened when cooled. They were a texture midway between a soft and crunchy granola bar.

Wish Could give it a higher ratings but honestly they were quite dry. Made them just as written but adding whole eggs rather than just egg whites as suggested. The chocolate chips on top made them look prettier than they tasted. My husband who loves banana and bar cookies didn’t want any past the first go around. Decided really isn’t a keeper.

These are good! I cut the sugar in half, and they are still sweet enough. I also added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. I baked the bars for only 25 minutes, which seemed fine. They are not crunchy, but chewy. Yum!

Delish, will make again

So yummy. This is the first time that I finally used the frozen banana (that you swear that you are going to make banana bread but toss the frost bitten puppy 6 months later). I used cranberry instead of raisins. Excellent breakfast.

Pretty good. I agree that it should be in an 8×8 or 9×9 pan, mine came out very thin and a little chewy. Will try this again since the flavor was great.

Wet rubbery texture. Tastes like eating a bowl of mushy oatmeal. Very strange.

These are really good! I made them according to the recipe, but added the 1/4 cup of flour as suggested by other reviewers. I used whole wheat flour. This recipe is a keeper!
