Not sure if I've shared these here. Found that dh and ds like these, too. There is no sugar in them but they are mildly sweet. Helps that munchie craving time with something a little more healthy.

FRUIT AND OAT BREAKFAST BARS
Servings: Makes 12 bars
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Too hot for your regular morning oats? Then give these breakfast bars a go! They're a great grab-and-go option for busy mornings, and can also be enjoyed as a snack or desert. If you're not a fan of raisins, substitute another variety of chopped dried fruits in their place. Dates, apples, and apricots all work well.

INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup raisins
2 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
4 tbsp. ground flax seed
1/2 cup soy or almond milk
2 tbsp. tahini or peanut butter
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1.5 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds

METHOD
1. Bring a cup of water to the boil. Place the raisins in a heatproof bowl or dish, cover with the boiling water, and set aside to soften.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a large square or rectangular baking dish (approx. 10 x 10 inches) with parchment paper.

3. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the applesauce, flax seed, soy or almond milk, and tahini. Mix well. Drain the raisins, and shake to remove any excess liquid. Add them to the bowl, along with the oats, flour, baking powder, sunflower seeds and cinnamon. Stir gently until just combined—you don't want to overmix the batter as it may become dense and chewy when baked. The mixture should be fairly firm, but quite sticky.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and spread it out in an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake for 22-30 minutes until firm and golden (cooking time can vary depending on your oven).

5. Remove from the oven, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Once it has cooled completely, slice into 18 bars or squares. Transfer to an airtight container or zip lock bags to keep the slice from drying out.
