Baked Banana Breakfast Bars

As it starts to get a bit colder, I’ve got a little bored of the same old breakfasts. Last weekend I experimented with unripe, FODMAP friendly, bananas to make a breakfast snack. I’ve made banana bars in the past, but they weren’t that appetising. This time I’ve added a little maple syrup and dark chocolate to add a little extra flavour. Alternatively you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a slightly spicier, festive version.

I chose to use unripe bananas as these are lowest in fructose for a low FODMAP diet. Ripe bananas do mash a little easier, however they aren’t as gut-friendly.

These bars taste lovely on their own, or chop them up into little bitesized pieces and serve with yoghurt for a filling breakfast.

Banana Breakfast Bars

Ingredients

  • 3 Bananas
  • 200 g Rolled oats (gluten free if coeliac)
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 25 g Dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius or gas mark 6.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the oats.
  • Add the maple syrup, water and dark chocolate chips (save a few for sprinkling on the top).
  • Mix well and place into a lined 20cm baking tray. They will only fill two-thirds of the tray to make 6 bars.
  • Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.

I hope you enjoy these banana breakfast bars, they are gluten free, nut free and low FODMAP, and can even be made dairy free if using dairy free chocolate. As always, let me know if you give these a try, I love to see you enjoying my recipes.

If you are looking for more breakfast inspiration, why not take a look at my Banana and Chia Pancakes and French Toast or these savoury options such as my Breakfast Eggs or Breakfast Frittata, perfect for a weekend brunch.

Happy baking,

Alice x

New recipe! I’ve just shared the recipe for this New recipe! I’ve just shared the recipe for this Cajun Chicken Pasta over on my blog and if I’m completely honest, it’s a game changer! It is so flavourful, rich and creamy all the while being gluten free, lactose free and low FODMAP. It’s sometimes easy to make the same few meals on repeat, and if like me you end up having regulars, then this needs to become one of them. It’s also quick and easy for weeknights as it can all be made in one pot. Let me know if you give it a try!

#AD Through suffering with IBS, I have always stru #AD Through suffering with IBS, I have always struggled with dairy-rich foods, which are naturally high in lactose, resulting in periods of being very unwell after eating. I absolutely love foods high in lactose such as cheese, cream and of course - chocolate - and have missed out on so many desserts in the past! However, I’m so pleased to share that you don’t have to miss out anymore, as you can take @lactojoy, a tablet containing a high dose of lactase, before eating. Lactase digests lactose and reduces any unwanted ill effects after eating. Since taking @lactojoy, I have been able to eat out more, indulge during the holidays and not have to turn down any desserts! Here I’ve made a gluten free chocolate tart, with a rich and indulgent cream filling that you can enjoy after taking @lactojoy. The tart has a nutty and crunchy chocolatey base and is filled with a smooth, velvety interior that melts in your mouth. If consumed after taking @lactojoy, this tart can be enjoyed as part of a Low FODMAP diet, let me know if you’d like the recipe #stayfresh  #feelbetter #lactojoy #Laktase #lactase

Throwback to a delicious half term brunch at @josi Throwback to a delicious half term brunch at @josiesuk in Romsey. It was my first time there. The cafe is so much bigger here than in Bishops Waltham, and I loved having a wander round Romsey afterwards visiting the Abbey and strolling along the river. I’d recommend a visit if you’re local. I went for the gluten free Eggs Royale with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. What’s your go-to low FODMAP brunch order? 🍳🍅 🍞 🥓 🥑

I had the most incredible gluten free buttermilk t I had the most incredible gluten free buttermilk twisted chicken burger at @maritimolounge yesterday. It came with crispy bacon, cheese, tomato, salad and mayonnaise (I had it without the chipotle sauce and guacamole to avoid onion and garlic). I can honestly say it was probably the best chicken burger I’ve ever had. The crunchy coating on the chicken was the real highlight and I recommend everyone goes to their local @thelounges to give a try! The view was also stunning, swipe to see the sunshine over Ocean Village. It’s one of my favourite spots to sit in Southampton. 🌊 ☀️🛥️
