Hi guys!
I’d like to share with you a recipe that I tried yesterday. Since
I left Italy 2 years ago I kinda struggled to find healthy snacks. I always crave
something sweet during the day while I’m at work but the snacks you find at the
supermarket are so full of sugar and preservatives, they’re really not good for
you.
So yesterday I did some research on how I could bake the
perfect snack myself, with no sugar added! I’m a big fan of peanut butter, and
I found this brand that is only peanuts, no sugar whatsoever.
So here is the recipe for these super good and healthy
peanut butter, banana, oats and honey energy bars. Only 4 ingredients and
really fast to make. I arrived home at 8pm after work, I was tired but it
really took me 10 minutes to put the ingredients together.
Ingredients:
250 gr (1 cup) peanut butter (I used one that contains no
sugar or preservatives)
60 gr (less than 1/4 cup) honey
160 gr (2 cups) instant oats
2 ripe bananas (medium size)
You can add crushed nuts and cinnamon if you like
Mash the bananas with a fork
then add the other ingredients
and mix until well combined.
Line a pan with parchment paper and pour the
mixture in, press and flatten with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 30 min
then cut into bars and let
it cool completely.
You can store at room temperature but I live in a very warm
climate so I store in the fridge. Remember to cover them, or they’ll absorb
humidity. You can also freeze them.
Enjoy your healthy snack! It's only 80 calories per bar!
