This week’s edition of Sweet Freedom Saturday features the most excellent gluten free, soy free Banana Oat Bars. Ricki describes them as a cross between a cookie and a granola bar.
As you can see, I added chocolate to this recipe. I just can’t help myself.
I didn’t eat all of them myself this time, but I do have another confession to make. I completely forgot to include the sugar in the batter! Of course I didn’t realize my mistake until the batter was all spread in the pan and I was just about to pop them in the oven. I decided to sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of sucanat on top. Thankfully, the batter recipe is very forgiving because the bars were a perfect granola cookie, and the caramelized sugary topping turned out to be all the sweetness we needed. I love that bananas can be your sugar.
I will try very hard to prepare next week’s recipe correctly, but I can’t promise I won’t eat them all. Sweet Freedom recipes are the best!

That's awesome that the bananas were enough. Nature is wonderful. :)
How great that it worked out without the Sucanat! I love that bananas can be my sugar, too. Now I know how I'll be making this next time I bake it up. . . :)
I really want to make these, too! I marked so many recipes in my SF book - it's just crazy!
gluten-free & soy free - sign me up! i'll tell ya, Diann - since starting the Adventure Challenge Tune-Up i've felt so awesome - i think it has some part to do with taking the gluten out of my diet. i really think i may be better off without the gluten - i feel so great without it!
oh my, your banana oat bars look so perfect! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Catching up on blog posts before breakfast is probably not the best idea! Now all I want for breakfast is cookies and bars. These look delicious and I like the fact that you left out the sugar and they were still sweet enough. I'll have to remember this when I finally get a copy of this book.
