Ingredients
¼ cup almond butter
½ cup almond milk
2 ripe bananas, mashed
¼ cup maple syrup
1½ cups gluten-free oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with coconut oil or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, almond milk, mashed bananas, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Add the gluten-free oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients. Fold and mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and no dry streaks remain.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 8x8 inch baking pan, pressing gently to compact it into a single layer.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into 10 equal bars. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at every major Charlotte chain—almond butter and gluten-free oats are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI—making this a genuine one-stop shop. Cost per serving lands around $0.70–$0.85, driven by almond butter and the oats, which is reasonable for a homemade snack bar. The 25-minute stated time is honest and includes minimal active hands-on work; baking takes most of it. This is a fuss-free formula that makes ten bars at once, reheats perfectly in the toaster oven, and works as a grab-and-go breakfast or lunch box item for a family.
