Millet Banana Breakfast Bars | Treble in the Kitchen

This post is written as part of an ongoing partnership with NOW Foods.

Happy Monday and happy Memorial Day!

While I am guessing that many of you are NOT reading blogs today due to many outdoor activities and warm-weather fun, I still wanted to share a delicious recipe with all of you.

You see, tomorrow I go back to school!  My summer semester begins, which means that it’s time for me to get back into a schedule, meal prep each weekend, and plan my workouts ahead of time (those are the things that keep me sane when times are crazy!).

These millet breakfast bars are coming at you today because I love making a batch on the weekend so that I can enjoy an easy breakfast during the week.

These bars are SO filling, chewy, slightly bananay, and they have just the right amount of sweetness.  When I enjoy a bar for breakfast, sometimes I’ll have one (or two) all by itself, put a little nut butter on top, enjoy it with a side of fruit, or enjoy it with a hard boiled egg.  The options are pretty endless and all really depend on your hunger level that day 🙂

You may remember that I was on a millet kick a while back?  Well, I’m not eating it with every meal every day…but I do love the nutty little grain!

Here are the ingredients that really make these bars amazing:

  • Millet | high in phosphorus, copper, fiber and magnesium
  • Oats | slow digesting carbohydrate (keeps you fuller for longer), also high in fiber
  • Hemp Seeds | good source of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids
  • Coconut Sugar | less processed than white sugar, lower glycemic index (so no sugar crash later in the morning)
  • Banana | high in potassium and naturally sweet
  • Flax | good source of fiber, manganese, vitamin B1, and omega 3 fatty acids

Description

Whole grains combine with banana, coconut sugar, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and a touch of nut butter to create a filling, chewy, and sweet millet breakfast bar that is the perfect make-ahead breakfast for the week!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 cup cooked millet (cooked according to the package directions)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 2 flax eggs (can sub 2 traditional large eggs here)
  • 2 Tbsp nut butter (I have used almond butter and peanut butter)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I prefer Enjoy Life brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  2. Prepare the flax eggs. (I usethese directions!)
  3. While the eggs are setting, line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
  4. Once the flax eggs are ready, combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. The edges will be brown and the bars will be firm throughout.
  7. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan using the parchment paper as handles to lift the bars out as one giant bar.
  8. Slice the bars into 12 bars. Store in the fridge for about a week.

  1. First time commenting on ANY recipe and first time eating millet. I made these bars exactly as written on recipe and they were delicious. Satisfying treat, easy to make, and my husband loves them too. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Did you mean use only 1 cup of already cooked millet – or cook 1 cup of raw millet – yielding about 2.5 Cups of cooked millet. This will make a difference. Thank you for your response

  3. Yummy! I didn’t have enough banana so topped up the difference with apple sauce. I used a chia egg and a flax egg and instead of choc chips I used chopped dates and candied ginger. Big hit in our house!

  4. I finally got a chance to make these and they are TERRIFIC. It’s like a very good granola bar meets banana bread. Thank you very much for the recipe! Oh and I used regular eggs that I combined with the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and bananas, then incorporated that with the dry ingredients.

    • Thank you so much, Christina!! 🙂 GREAT description! And thanks for testing them out with regular eggs. Will make a note in the recipe for future people wanting to check this recipe out 🙂

    • The oats are uncooked 🙂 Thanks for asking! I hope this recipe tastes delicious when you make it!

    • Hi Christina! Great question – I think 2 regular eggs should work but I have not tested the recipe that way. If you give it a try, I would love for you to provide feedback so other readers can know if this is an option that works or not 🙂 Thank you!

    • Such a great idea for race fuel!! 8 hours…that’s so intense!! 🙂 You NEEDED the fuel 🙂
