- 2 1/4 cups gluten-free old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup salted nuts ~ seeds for peanut-free
- 4 mashed bananas ~ less ripe for Low FODMAP
- 1 cup SunButter or other nut butter
- 1/2 cup gluten-free pretzels ~ chopped read labels carefully for food allergy ingredients
- 1 Tbls honey, pure maple syrup, or agave syrup ~ pure maple syrup for Low FODMAP
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips I used allergy-friendly ~ optional
Preheat the oven to 350.
Pour the oats and nuts onto a large baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes tossing a couple of times during the baking time. Leaving the oven on…remove oats and nuts from the oven, set aside, and let cool down.
Line a 9"x13" baking dish with parchment paper. You can do this while the oats and nuts are in the oven.
Heat SunButter or other nut butter and mashed bananas in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove stirring until well combined. Set aside to let cool a bit.
In a mixing bowl combine the oats, nuts, and banana mixture.
Fold in cut-up pretzels and 2 Tbls of chocolate chips. (They will melt slightly)
Spread the mixture into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
Bake 25-30 minutes or when golden brown.
Let cool and cut into any size bar you like. I cut mine into about 18 bars.
