Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or potato masher (for bananas)
- Spoon or spatula (for mixing)
- Ovenproof baking dish or cake tin
- Spray oil or greaseproof paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- 200 g oats
- 50 g vanilla protein powder
- 50 g lemon curd
- 200 ml milk
- 50 g frozen blueberries
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 mashed bananas
- For Toppings:
- 40 g white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Mash the Bananas. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork.
- Step 2: Mix the Ingredients. Add the oats, protein powder, baking powder, blueberries, and lemon curd to the mashed bananas. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.
- Step 3: Add the Milk. Pour in the milk and mix thoroughly to create a smooth, slightly thick batter.
- Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish. Spray the baking dish with oil or line it with greaseproof paper. Pour the oat mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Step 5: Add the Toppings. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top of the mixture.
- Step 6: Bake. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the mixture for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and firm.
- Step 7: Cool and Slice. Once baked, let the oatmeal bars cool slightly before cutting them into six even squares.
Notes
- Use Ripe Bananas: Ripe bananas mash easily and add natural sweetness to the bars.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid dense bars.
- Check for Doneness: The bars are ready when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
