Cocoa Banana Oat Breakfast Bars

Two out of three of my children liked this. (enough to ask for a second helping at breakfast) There is no sugar, egg, oil or butter in this recipe.  One could take out the cocoa, and add walnuts, pecans and or Craisins.  Very healthy, and quick to make.





3 cups old fashioned, uncooked oats
4 ripe bananas, mashed until creamy
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup raisins
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well blended
• Place in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish
• Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes  (bars will be chewy)
