Ingredients

  • Rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • All-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • Whole wheat bread or wraps
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Sunflower seed butter
  • Unsweetened applesauce
  • Ripe bananas, mashed
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries)
  • Dried cranberries or raisins (unsweetened if possible)
  • Grated apple or carrot
  • Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Rice cereal (gluten-free if needed)
  • Greek yogurt
  • Eggs (large, room temperature)
  • Cheese slices or shredded cheddar
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla extract
  • Sea salt
  • Ground flaxseed (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F to 350°F (163°C to 177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix mashed banana or applesauce with sunflower seed butter, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add Greek yogurt or milk alternative if mixture is too thick.
  4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix gently. Add dried fruit or toasted coconut flakes if desired.
  5. Transfer mixture to prepared baking tray or molds. Press down firmly to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and firm. Check with a toothpick for doneness.
  7. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars or squares.
  8. Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 5 days, refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

Use SunButter for sunflower seed butter to avoid nut cross-contamination. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and flour. Warm sunflower seed butter slightly for easier mixing. Rotate baking tray halfway through baking for even cooking. Freeze individual bars wrapped in parchment for easy storage.
