Strawberry Banana Breakfast Bars – Easy Recipe and Freezer Friendly!

These strawberry banana breakfast bars are a delicious breakfast or snack that’s perfect for the whole family. Super easy to make, these bars are freezer-friendly and perfect for meal prepping and batch cooking.

When it comes to breakfast, there are a couple of things that are incredibly important around here: first, they need to be delicious. Second, they need to be quick, bonus points if you can grab one while on the go.

These strawberry banana breakfast bars check all those boxes and then some more. They are good. But not in a “meh, good for a bar” type of good. They are mind-blowingly delicious and indulgent while also being fairly healthy.

And they are stuffed, like totally stuffed with fruit! They taste as if a pie and a breakfast bar had a cousin: crispy, soft, fruity, and perfectly sweet.

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 toaster for a couple of minutes until they are warm and crispy. Be sure to make extra to enjoy later!
