Banana Blueberry Bars

Yield 9 people
Serving Size 1 bar
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates pitted and halved
- 1 1/2 cups apple juice
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 bananas peeled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries frozen
- 1/2 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, soak dates in apple juice for 10-15 minutes. Lay a piece of parchment paper in a 9 x 9-inch baking pan, making sure the sides are covered. Cut slits in the corners of the paper so that the paper overlaps and is flat.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix and set aside. Place bananas and vanilla extract into a blender. Remove dates from apple juice and set aside. Add the strained juice to the blender and blend until creamy. Add dates to the blender and pulse a few times so the dates are in small pieces.
- Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Mix until well combined. Stir in the blueberries and walnuts. Using a spatula, pour the batter into baking pan. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Delicious!!!! Will make these again and again. I am a bariatric patient and by going to the natural food store, I was able to get dates that did not have sugar on them. These are so wonderful, taste like Banana nut bread in a way
These are amazing!!! Super easy to make and very satisfying. My 9×13 pan made 12 bars
this is a really cool recipe! I work with a bar and was curious if you think it might pair well with some type of cocktail drink?? we’d like to try a few things and maybe this could be something. Just a thought! Great blog!
Sure! Here’s a few great choices hefeweizens, dunkelweizens and weizenbocks. If you don’t have these German beers on hand, serve with a sweeter tasting beer. Hope this helps! 🙂
Hi…Does this recipe call for the packet pitted dates at the supermarket or fresh dates? Thanks.
Nisey, We used packet pitted dates but fresh will work as well.
