Laura Theodore’s tasty 5-ingredient vegan apricot bars are easy to make, while also being easy on the wallet. The sweetness comes from the apricot preserves, and rolled oats provide the crunch.
Mashed bananas stand in beautifully for the egg often used as a binder in baked goods, and the vanilla extract really jazzes it up! Made the night before, these bars make a quick light breakfast, or just grab them and go for a lovely snack with coffee, tea, or hot vegan cocoa. any time of day.
Tip: Make sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you’d like a sweet treat that’s both GF and vegan.
