How to Make Your Vegan Trail Mix Berry Banana Bars:
One of the best things about this banana bars recipe? They're super easy to make! Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and combining three tablespoons of water with one tablespoon of ground chia seeds. Stir thoroughly and let your chia egg do its thang for 10 to 15 minutes. Once it has gelled, add your chia egg to a bowl with the rest of your wet ingredients, except for the berries. In a separate bowl, do the same thing with all of your dry ingredients. Then, combine everything (minus the berries) into one bowl and mix it all up!Once your banana bars batter (try pronouncing that ten instances speedy!) is blended, gently stir in your chosen berries. Your batter have to be thick, however you may add greater liquid if it seems too dry to incorporate without problems.
Pour your berry-packed batter into a baking dish (I used a 9X9 inch cake pan, but you can additionally use bread loafs or some thing dish you have available) and pa it within the oven. Bake your banana bars for 25 to 30 minutes or until a fork/tooth pick comes out smooth. Let your banana bars cool, cover and keep them in the fridge for as much as per week. These banana bars also freeze properly, making them the appropriate gluten free snack to keep stashed away to your freezer!
