Homemade oat bars with seeds and chocolate chips

Ripe bananas sweeten these bars, so they need only a little honey.

Cut them once they are fully cool, and they hold together well.

    Cool completely in the tin, then cut into 12 bars.

Questions about this recipe

Can I make these without egg?

Yes. Leave out the egg and add 2 tbsp more milk. The bars will be a little softer.
