1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 chopped raw almonds

1 banana

¼ cup unsalted raw peanut butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Press mixture into the baking dish. Brush remaining banana puree on top. Cover with plastic wrap.

Chill until firm, 8 hours to overnight. Cut into squares.

Use black or golden raisins, as preferred.
