Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp Natural peanut butter + additional for drizzling, if desired
  • 3 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 1/4 Cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 3/4 Cup Ripe banana, mashed (about 1 1/2 large bananas, or 190g)
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Raisins
  • 1/3 Cup Banana chips, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 Cup Steel cut oats , gluten free if needed
  • 1/4 Cup Roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Cacao nibs

Instructions

  • Spray a 7-quart slow cooker with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving enough extra to act as a handle. I just trace my slow cooker insert, and then cut the tracing out a little bigger!
  • Place the peanut butter and honey in a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk together.
  • Add in the almond milk, banana and cinnamon and whisk again. Finally, whisk in the eggs until well combined.
  • Stir in the raisins, banana chips, steel cut oats, peanuts and cacao nibs and pour into the slow cooker. Make sure to kind of spread all mix-ins around so each bar has lots of yumminess!
  • Cover and cook on low until the bars feel set, about 7-8 hours.
  • Once cooked, gently pull out from the slow cooker and transfer to a wire rack to cool COMPLETELY.
  • Once cool, slice into bars and DEVOUR!
