Printable Strawberry Cashew Butter Oat Bars Recipe Card
Naturally sweetened with strawberries, applesauce and banana for a healthy and easy snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 medium banana, ripe
- ¼ cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼-½ tsp cinnamon (I used ½ tsp but if you want less of a cinnamon flavor, use ¼ tsp)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray 8"x8" pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
- Place the strawberries in blender or food processor. Puree and set aside.
- Mash the banana in large bowl. Stir in the cashew butter and applesauce until well mixed. Stir in the oats, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in the strawberry puree.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. This allows the oats to hydrate and improves the texture of the bars. Do not skip this step.
- After your mixture has rested, smooth it into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow the bars to cool before slicing, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
