Ingredient notes

  • Sweetener: Ripe bananas add plenty of natural sweetness. For sweeter strawberry oat squares, add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup or honey - taste the dough and adjust with sweetener if it is necessary.
  • Vegan: Replace Greek yogurt with your favorite nondairy yogurt, I recommend Greek style soy yogurt.
  • Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free rolled oats and oat flour.
  • Protein powder: For high protein strawberry bars, replace oat flour with half a cup of protein powder. I recommend vanilla flavor protein powder.

Storage notes

  • To store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze: Place in zipper bags and freeze for up to 4 months.
  • To reheat: Remove the bars from the freezer, then warm up in hot oven or in the microwave.
