For a richer flavor, toast the oats and almonds lightly before adding them to the mixture. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits, nuts, or seeds according to your preference. If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk (dairy or non-dairy) at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, protein powder, peanut butter, dried cranberries, flaked coconut, chopped almonds, brewed tea, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, ensuring all dry ingredients are moistened. (10 minutes)
03
StepPress the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the bars are set. (30 minutes)

StepRemove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. This allows them to firm up and prevents crumbling. (15 minutes)
