Blueberry Banana Breakfast Bars

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups rolled oats
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped dried figs
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 large egg whites
• 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving 1 inch of parchment hanging over the sides.

Mix oats, figs, almonds, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds together in a bowl.

Stir bananas, peanut butter, and honey together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until completely melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.

Whisk egg whites together in a bowl until foamy. Mix banana mixture into egg whites and whisk until smooth; add oat mixture and stir until batter well combined. Fold blueberries into batter. Press batter into the prepared pan; top with flax seeds and 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
