How to choose the best ingredients for Baked Oat Breakfast Bars
Bananas: Bananas can be very ripe because you will turn them into mush faster.
Oat rolled: oat rolled is best used for oatmeal bars. Porridge is too tiny and disappears from the structure, turning oatmeal bars into oatmeal, but still, it's going to be a healthy snack.
Butter nuts: butter nuts can be what you like, i.e., peanut butter or butter from other nuts or almonds. Here I leave the choice to you. Remember, however, that it should be sugar-free, as you want a healthier version of the snack. Bananas and honey make the bars sweet enough, and these are natural additives.
Nuts and dried fruit: choose nuts as you like. It doesn't matter. As for dried fruit, I like the mix of cranberry and raisin. The first gives a characteristic sickle and sour taste, and the second provides sweetness, of course, apart from the nutritional value of the ingredients. You can, however, experiment with your favorite fruit. They must be dried.
Tips and tricks
- For the baking paper to tame and not bend over the sheet, I have two ways:
- bend it diagonally
- Gently brush the plate with oil, and this way, the paper will stick to the plate.
- Bars can be poured into melted chocolate. If the chocolate is completely sealed in foil, you can put it in a cup with hot water and dissolve it. Later, you just cut the corner slightly, and you can decorate the bars.
