Banana Breakfast Bars
These are super moist and not overly sweet. Rely on very ripe fruit, since the sweetness comes from there.

- 1/3 cup ground flax
- 1 very ripe bartlett pear, peeled, cored and mashed (or substitute unsweetened applesauce)
- 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/4 cup raw almonds, chopped
- pinch kosher or sea salt
- 1 tsp olive oil or sunflower seed oil
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Mix all ingredients except oil in a bowl - blend thoroughly pressing with a spatula
