Ingredients | Healthy Banana Granola Bars

1 cup raisins

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 chopped raw almonds

1 banana

¼ cup unsalted raw peanut butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

1 tablespoon water (Optional)

Directions

Place raisins in a food processor; pulse into a paste.

Transfer raisin paste to a large bowl. Add oats and almonds.

Place banana in the food processor; blend into a puree.

Combine 1/4 cup banana puree, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add water if mixture seems too thick. Pour over raisin mixture in the bowl and mix with your hands until combined.

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Press mixture into the baking dish. Brush remaining banana puree on top. Cover with plastic wrap.

Chill until firm, 8 hours to overnight. Cut into squares.

Use black or golden raisins, as preferred.

Use another unsalted nut butter in place of the peanut butter if desired.
