Banana Blueberry Morning Oat Bars

Banana Blueberry Morning Oat Bars balance fruity sweetness from ripe bananas and bursts of fresh blueberries with a nutty crunch from oats, almonds, and seeds. Natural honey and peanut butter lend gentle richness, while figs add chewy texture. Perfect for make-ahead breakfasts, lunchbox treats, or a post-workout snack when you want something hearty yet not overly sweet.

Banana Blueberry Morning Oat Bars
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on the sides.

  2. 2

    Combine the oats, figs, almonds, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds in a bowl.

  3. 3

    In a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the bananas, peanut butter, and honey until fully melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

  4. 4

    Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until foamy. Whisk the banana mixture into the egg whites until smooth; add the oat mixture and stir until the batter is well combined. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Press the batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle the top with flax seeds and 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
