American Banana & Oat Shredded Energy Bars
After an evening run in Central Park, the Geedel Vegetable Chopper helps you create wholesome energy bars in minutes. It transforms bananas into fine, uniform shreds for better texture, while the hand blender easily mixes in oats and nuts. Sweetened with honey and baked to perfection, these portable bars offer a naturally sweet, healthier alternative to store-bought options—perfect for active lifestyles.
Ingredients (Makes 4 bars)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 150g instant oats
- 20g chopped almonds
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- 10g coconut oil (melted)
Instructions
1. Shred the Bananas: Texture & Taste
Peel the bananas and cut into 3cm chunks. Place them in the Geedel Vegetable Chopper and rotate three times to create fine, pale yellow shreds. This method preserves a slight fibrous texture, adding chewiness to the bars without making them overly sticky.
2. Mix the Ingredients: Even & Mess-Free
In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, and cinnamon. Add the melted coconut oil, peanut butter, and honey. Use the Hand Chopper to gently fold the ingredients for about 1 minute—avoid breaking the banana shreds. This method is quicker and cleaner than mixing by hand.
3. Shape & Set: Two Versions for Your Preference
Baked Version:
Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined square pan, pressing it down firmly with a spoon. Bake at 170°C for 20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
No-Bake Version:
Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours until firm, then slice into bars. Softer and chewier, this version is perfect for warmer weather.
4.Portable & Nourishing: Fuel On the Go
Pack the bars in sealed bags for a convenient post-workout snack. Each bar delivers the natural sweetness of bananas, the sustained energy of oats, and the protein-rich crunch of nuts—ideal for running, hiking, or a quick office pick-me-up.
Conclusion
These homemade energy bars support an active lifestyle—the Geedel Vegetable Chopper improves texture with banana shreds while the hand blender enables mess-free mixing. Using simple ingredients like bananas and oats, they provide natural, additive-free fuel perfect for post-workout recovery or everyday snacking.
