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!
