Ingredients

¾ cup almond milk

½ cup almond butter (or peanut/sunflower seed butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup mashed banana (about ½ large banana)

¼ cup liquid sweetener (agave, maple syrup, or brown rice syrup)

1 cup grated carrot (about 2 large carrots)

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal

1½ cups rolled oats

½ cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the frosting:

1 cup icing sugar

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1–2 tablespoons almond milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, combine almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, mashed banana, liquid sweetener, and grated carrot. Mix well.

  • Add ground flaxseed meal, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until just combined.

  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

  • Bake for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Cool completely before cutting into bars.

  • For frosting, mix icing sugar and cinnamon. Add almond milk gradually to achieve a thick glaze. Drizzle over cooled bars and let harden before storing.

Notes

Frosting is optional; bars are delicious plain.

Substitute nut butters as desired for flavor variety.

Use gluten-free oats and flour for a gluten-free version.

Add nuts, raisins, or shredded coconut for texture.

Bars freeze well wrapped individually for up to 2 months.
