Strawberry Shortcake Bars
Serves 24 to 30 bars
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 8 ounces, plus 4 ounces, fresh or frozen strawberries, divided (if frozen, they should be slightly thawed first)
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
- Into the bowl of a food processor (I use a large Cuisinart), add bananas, 8 ounces strawberries, oats, dates, baking powder, and vanilla. Process until the mixture is well combined.
- Remove bowl and blade from the base. Divide batter evenly, filling either a silicone brownie-bites pan or a nonstick miniature muffin pan. (If you have more batter than fits easily, just start a second pan. You won’t want to over-fill because these will rise a little bit.)
- Dice the remaining 4 ounces of strawberries, and dot them over the top of the batter, pressing just slightly so that they stay in place. Bake for 15 minutes, or until almost firm.
- Remove from the oven and place it on the cooling rack. Allow to cool, at least a little bit, and enjoy!
