3-Ingredient Coconut Oatmeal Bars
These 3-Ingredient Coconut Oatmeal Bars are the ultimate “pantry staple” snack. By using only ripe bananas, quick oats, and shredded coconut, you create a treat that is soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened without any added sugars or oils.
Whether you need a quick grab-and-go breakfast, a healthy lunchbox addition, or a post-workout fuel-up, these bars deliver a satisfying texture and a tropical hint of coconut in every bite. Because they rely on the natural sugars of overripe bananas, they are kid-friendly and perfect for those looking for a wholesome, plant-based snack.
Ingredients You'll Need
To make these bars, you only need three simple ingredients. For the best results, ensure your bananas are heavily spotted or even turning brown—the riper they are, the sweeter and softer your bars will be.
-
1 1/2 cups very ripe bananas (about 3 to 4 medium bananas, mashed)
-
2 cups quick oats (ensure they are certified gluten-free if needed)
-
1/4 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
