📝 Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned): A rich source of fiber that helps keep you full longer.
1 ripe banana, mashed: Naturally sweetens the bars while adding potassium and creaminess.
1/3 cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added): Provides healthy fats and protein. Using less than the traditional recipe helps reduce WW points.
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional): Adds a touch of extra sweetness. You can also swap for a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit to reduce points.
1 tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor without adding sugar.
½ tsp cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth of flavor.
Optional Add-ins:
1 tbsp chia seeds (fiber + omega-3s)
1 tbsp flaxseed meal (healthy fats + fiber)
1–2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (sugar-free recommended) for a little indulgence
