Ingredients for Healthy Banana Nut Cake Bars

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup BioSteel Banana Cream Pie Vegan Protein Powder
• 1 1/4 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 2 tbsp flaxseed meal (mixed with 5 tbsp water to form flax eggs)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional for topping: chopped walnuts, sliced bananas

Instructions for Healthy Banana Nut Cake Bars

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Flax Eggs: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract, and prepared flax eggs. Stir until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the BioSteel Banana Cream Pie Vegan Protein Powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Walnuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts for a nice crunch in every bite.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Optional: top the bars with extra walnuts and sliced banana before baking. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Slice: Allow the cake bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
