Healthy Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray. (I used an 8×8 inch square pan.)

Combine mashed banana, peanut butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract and blend until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine oats, almonds (use a blender to grind almonds into a flour), coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Stir in dried cranberries and chopped chocolate.

Press dough down into pan and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Let cool before removing from pan. Cut into squares.
