That's the official recipe.  So..I never follow the rules or do what I am supposed to.  That goes for just about everything including recipes.  I just dumped it all in a bowl, mixed it with a hand mixer and poured it in the pan and baked it.

Here are my ingredients

fresh ground flour..yummy

Oats

Salt and Baking powder

 This is what cardamom looks like..just a small pinch is enough flavor

This is where I broke the law and just dumped it all in one bowl
so the sucanat sugar just when in on the rest

and so did the applesauce and coconut oil..just went right on top of the whole thing ;)

One egg and 3 egg whites (they sell these in a carton but I had some in a bowl left over from something else)

This looks kinda weird, but I just put the bananas in on top and then started in on the whole bowl with a hand mixer.

Then I chopped the walnuts up very small and mixed them in

Mixing away

Poured into a pan

oops..I forgot to add vanilla and so I just poured it in, in the pan and mixed it in real quick

Yummy...finished baked banana oat bars
