Swap the pecans in these sumptuous bars from Katy Beskow’s Five Ingredient Vegan cookbook for golden raisins, freeze-dried raspberries, or dried cranberries for kid-friendly variations. 

What you need:

2 ripe bananas, peeled
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 cups rolled oats
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup roughly chopped pecans

What you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mash bananas into a paste and stir in maple syrup. Add oats, cinnamon, and pecans and stir again, until fully combined.
  2. Into a small, shallow baking dish, press mixture into an even layer. Bake 15 minutes, remove, and slice into bars while still warm before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
