How to make the filling in these Strawberry Banana Breakfast Bars
For me, the real star of this recipe is the filling. Oh my, I could pretty much eat it with a spoon before baking these. That’s how good it is.
It’s a combo of strawberries and bananas mashed together (yum!) and mixed with some sugar or sweetener of your choice, a bit of lemon juice (to keep flavors bright), some cornstarch (to make things creamy and thick), a little bit of vanilla extract.
I’m pretty sure you can use it as a pie filling or even a fridge jam and spread it over toast. Let me know if you try it this way!
How to store your Strawberry Banana Breakfast Bars:
You can keep them refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze them! I love to keep them frozen.
Once you are ready to have one just pop it in the oven or the taster for a couple of minutes until they are warm and crispy. Be sure to make extra to enjoy later!
Use this airtight container for your leftovers.

Hi Vix! I’m sorry, I just saw this. I had an issue with thousands of spam comments, but I appreciate you taking the time to ask a very good question. The answer is a 3-quart baking dish with dimensions of 13″ x 9″. — Lori
