  • 2 tsp baking powder 
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 
  • 1/2 tsp salt

RD Note  
Steel cut oats are a great source of soluble fiber and have a hearty texture that is sure to satisfy, making these a great breakfast option! Pair with 1 cup low-fat milk and ½ cup frozen berries for a complete meal. 

Chef’s Tip 
•Out of bananas? No problem, just substitute with 1 cup unsweetened applesauce (total 1.5 cups applesauce).
•These bars freeze well too, just pop them in the microwave for 1 minute before serving.
