'nana/oat/coconut...bar? or brownie? or faux blondie? idk

I was craving some things called "chickpea blondies" - I've never had/tasted them but seen pictures and decided that's what I wanted. BLondies are pretty much brownies without chocolate...or brownies with white chocolate but "chickpea blondies" are made with pureed chickpeas - more healthful, I'm sure.

I don't have chickpeas on hand - so that was a dud. But I did have one over-ripened banana...and almond butter...and shreddded coconut. So this happened:



I added:
WET-
-1 smashed banana
-1tbsp canola oil
-1 whole egg + 1 egg white
-1 tsp vanilla
-3tbsp almond butter
-2 tbsp honey + 1 tbsp sugar

DRY-
-1/2 c ww flour
-1.25 c oat bran
-hefty sprinkle of ground flax
-cinnamon
-(a tad)baking powder
-sprinkle of salt
-shredded coconut

Stir together & bake on 350 for 25 mins.
Yields 15 sqaures in a... square pan.

They came out delicious-not too sweet at all [granted there were only 3tbsp of added sugary goodness]. Warning - a square of this curbs appetite. I think it would be a good pre-run fuel. A definite keeper.
