I got this recipe from sugarplumskitchen.com - They make a great quick breakfast or snack!

Recipe makes 12 squares.

---> I calculated about 100 CALORIES per square (not bad!) <---

Banana Oatmeal Bars:

3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup applesauce
2 cups quick cooking oats
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup craisins
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl mash bananas (the riper the better!) Add all other ingredients and mix until well combined. Spread into prepared 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and remove from dish. Enjoy!

I personally enjoy them served with a little spoonful of strawberry jam on top!

    Is the apple sauce sweetened or unsweetened?

    Unsweetened. Apples are naturally sweet.

    Can these be frozen, and how do the bars taste after being in the freezer?

    I didn't freeze them, but I put them in tupperware in the fridge for over a week. I bet they'd freeze ok. I freeze everything since I tend to make too much.

    Any ideas for substitutes for the almond milk? Would regular milk work? Can't wait for overripe bananas to make these. :)

    You can use regular milk if you'd like! I just used almond milk to cut the calories down

    Seems like this would be high in carbs?

    This sounds pretty good, how big are the 100 calorie squares?

    I've been making these with all kinds of additional/alternative ingredients and they are awesome!!! No sugar added, unless you add a few mini chocolate chips. You can freeze banana slices and thaw briefly and that works great if your current bananas aren't ripe enough. Grandkids love them too :)

    Oh, and I cut them up and put in snack bags and into the freezer all of the time. Works great for grab and go work snacks.

    I get 12 squares out of a 9x13 pan. They're a pretty good size though!

    I had to build this recipe to believe these squares were only 100 calories, and since I must watch my carbs, I thought they might be really high. I got a pleasant surprise: 92 calories each, 19g carbs, 8 g sugar, 2 g protein and 4 g sodium.

    I only used database listings with the most confirmations, and I crosschecked their info on the Self Nutrition database site.

    So, even though I am marginally diabetic, these are a GO. Thanks!
