Vegan Banana Granola Bars

Another day, another leftover banana recipe for you! This time it's super simple granola bars, which are also good for you. 

This recipe is really so easy, it's pretty much just mixing everything together in a bowl.

Ingredients

1 Cup Dates
2 Cups Oats
2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
4 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 Cup Almonds
1/2 Cup Dried Apricots (chopped into small chunks)
1 Overripe Banana

1) Start by toasting your oats and almonds at 180c for around 15 minutes (keep an eye on them so they don't burn)

2) Blend the dates, peanut butter and maple syrup together in a food processor until it forms a paste.

3) Then add your banana to the mixture and blend again until combined.

4) Pour the mixture into a bowl and add your toasted almonds and oats. Mix together with your hands (you can use a spoon if you so wish) until the oats and almonds are equally distributed. 

5) Spoon the mixture into a tin lined with baking parchment. I used a square one, but you can really use whatever you have lying around in the cupboards.

5) Refrigerate the mixture until fully cooled through.

6) Cut into segments and enjoy!
