Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
3 large ripe bananas, mashed (2 for custard, 1 for banana layer)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla custard mix
2 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk for plant-based)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
In food processor, pulse flour, oats, sugar, and melted butter until crumbly
Press crumbs firmly into parchment-lined 9×13″ baking pan
Whisk custard mix with milk until smooth
Mix in 2 mashed bananas and 1 tsp vanilla extract
Pour custard over crust and smooth surface
Arrange banana slice between custard layers
Bake for 35 minutes until center slightly jiggles
Cool completely then refrigerate 2 hours
Cut into 16 bars
Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal softness
Substitute 1:1 rice flour for gluten-free option
1 tbsp chia seeds can be added to dry ingredients for fiber
Use unsweetened applesauce instead of melted butter for fat-free
Chilling firms the texture for easier slicing
