Banana Oatmeal Coconut Bars

I'm always looking for a healthy snack that I can 'grab n go' or eat at work.  This recipe is easy, delicious, and nutrious - all things that I love in a recipe!

The recipe originally came from "www.thekindlife.com", but I've adapted it below.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/4 cup agave syrup (or maple syrup)
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 large banana, diced
• 1 cup coconut
• 1 1/2 TBSP ground flax seed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients together until well blended.  Press into a 8 X 8 inch pan.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Let cool, then cut into bars.

Tip:  I line the pan with parchment so that 2 sides come to the top of the pan.  After the bars have baked and cooled, I simply pull out the parchment and cut into bars on a hard surface.  This works especially well with brownies.
