Make-Ahead Breakfast Bars

These are hearty, chewy oat bars bound with mashed ripe banana, peanut butter, and just enough honey to hold their shape without tasting like candy. Studded with dried cranberries, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds, they bake up soft in the middle with lightly crisp edges and slice cleanly once cooled. Because they are sturdy and freezer-friendly, one pan sets you up with a week of real, grab-and-go breakfasts.
