Healthy Toasted Breakfast Bars Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/3 cups untoasted muesli
- 2/3 cup bran sticks (e.g. AllbranTM)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan forced). Line base and sides of a 20 x 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
- Mash bananas and vanilla in a medium bowl with a fork. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Spoon mixture into prepared tin, smoothing the surface to an even thickness. Bake for 20 minutes until golden, remove from oven and allow to cool in tin for 5 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces then return to the oven and bake for a further 20 minutes to crisp up. Once cool to touch, allow bars to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Before serving, place in a toaster to reheat and crisp up.
Variation:
Replace muesli with 1 cup rolled oats and 1/3 cup dried fruit such as cranberries, currants, sultanas or chopped dates, figs or apricots. Include a tablespoon of chia seeds or chopped nuts. Vary the flavour with a teaspoon of almond essence.

2 large ripe bananas is about 300g (peeled).
Healthy tip!
Having a party? Serve vegie sticks and water crackers with salsa rather than high-fat chips and dips.
