The bars are incredibly easy to make. Just combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another and then blend them all together and bake in a preheated oven set at 375°F (190°C).

Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, brown sugar, oatmeal and nuts in one bowl.

Combine the eggs, mashed bananas, cinnamon and vanilla extract in another bowl.

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together and blend well, being sure to get all the flour mixed in.

Place the ingredients in a greased and floured 9 x 13″ pan and cook for 25-30 minutes in your preheated oven set to 375ºF (190°C).  Cool completely and cut into bars.
