How to Prepare Cinnamon Banana Walnut Bars With Peanut Butter Frosting [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Add in banana and almond milk, mix well. Fold in walnuts.
  4. Cover a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and pour mixture over paper. Smooth it out evenly.
  5. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until edges are slightly golden brown.
  6. While that's baking, make the peanut butter frosting. In a small mixing bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Mix until combined.
  7. Add in a couple tablespoons of water until it reaches a frosting-like consistency.
  8. I added about 2-3 tablespoons, if you want it more drippy, add more water.
  9. Let the bars cool for about 20 minutes. I cut the bars first and then spread the frosting over.

Notes

To make oat flour, simply blend or food process 2 cups oats.
