What ingredients do I need to make these Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Squares?

  • Ripe bananas-the more ripe the bananas the sweeter these squares will be.
  • Large eggs- or egg whites 
  • Zero point brown sugar sweetener- I use Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener 
  • Unsweetened almond milk-to thin the batter and to make the squares creamy. 
  • Unsweetened applesauce- used as a substitute for oil
  • Vanilla extract- for flavor
  • Old fashioned it rolled oats or gluten-free rolled oats – be sure to NOT use quick cooking or instant oat-otherwise the texture of the squares will be  soft and soggy
  • Baking powder-to help the squares rise. 
  • Baking soda- to help the squares rise. 
  • Salt- for taste.
  • Cinnamon-for flavor. 
  • Fresh fruit– such as: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries or you can add no sugar added chocolate chips, for additional points 

 

How do I make these Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Squares?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl mash bananas using the bottom of a whisk or fork and stir until bananas are completely mashed. 

Add eggs or egg whites and whisk to combine. 

Pour in unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla.

Stir until fully combined.

In a separate large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, baking soda, zero point brown sugar sweetener, salt, and cinnamon.

Stir until well combined. 

Gradually add the wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.

Fold in desired fruit.

You can substitute or add no sugar added chocolate chips, for additional points.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Cut into nine thick square bars or twelve thinner size bars.

    Do you think you could use frozen fruit…if you thawed it out first?

      Hi Denise

      Yes, you can use frozen fruit. I don’t recommend thawing the fruit prior to cooking.

      Thank you!

    Can you substitute cows milk for the almond milk?

      Hi Tammy

      Yes, you bet. The point value may vary depending on which brand of milk you use.

      Thanks so much!

    Is there anything that could be used instead of bananas? Pumpkin maybe?
    Thanks!

      HI Susanne

      You could use unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin puree would also be a great substitute.

    Good morning,
    I loved the flavour but mine were wet. Did I need to bake longer? Also I substituted brown sugar Truvia instead of Monkfruit, did I need to reduce the amount. Thx!!

      Hi Kim

      Thanks for reaching out. If they were still wet in the middle, I recommend cooking them a bit longer. Keep in mind the oats will absorb most of the moister as as they cool as well. The Lakanto Monkfruit I use has a 1:1 ratio to regular sugar so you would want to use the conversion for real sugar that is shows on the back of the Truvia package.

      Hope that helps! Thanks so much

    Hi! Looking to make these, but do not have monkfruit. Could you skip that all together?

    Reply
    • Lindsay Kehl says

      April 12, 2021 at 6:55 pm

      HI Terri

      You can substitute the monk fruit for real sugar or any sweetener of your choice. Yes, you could omit the sweetener-they just won’t be as sweet.

      Thank you!

    Please tell me why most recipes especially WW are divided into odd amounts like this recipe nine servings, I realize nine brings the point value down and looks a lot better to get three points than four or five. I began cooking when I was 16 years old I’m 70 now Please tell me how you cut the servings into 9 equal servings. What I would love to see is recipes posted either for nine squares or eight just to make the serving size much simpler to divide. I love your recipes I have made so many of them You are my number one Weight Watcher website.
