These tasty banana bars are a combination between banana bread and breakfast muffins. If you feel up for some easy baking this weekend, these are definitely a must try! In the process I thought, why not add some frosting? Peanut butter mixed with maple syrup? I mean.. to die for. Even if you don’t feel like baking these banana bars of goodness, make the peanut butter frosting and eat it with a spoon. Maybe? I did yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it at all!

What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Cinnamon Banana Walnut Bars With Peanut Butter Frosting [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  • 2 cups oat flour (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or raw, cane, or brown)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 1/4 cup almond milk or any non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, crushed into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup raw, natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • A few tablespoons water, to desired consistency

How To Make 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.

  1. Fifteen minutes was NOT long enough for these to cook. I\’m working on 30 minutes right now and hoping they\’ll be cooked through. Still, it looks and smells good.
