Banana Blueberry Bars

In a small bowl, soak dates in apple juice for 10-15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper with the sides covered. Cut slits in the corners of the paper to overlap and lie flat.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of the rolled oats with cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix and set aside.

Place the remaining 1 cup of rolled oats, bananas, and vanilla extract into a blender.

Remove the dates from the apple juice and set aside. Strain the juice to add to the blender and blend until smooth.

Add the dates to the blender and pulse a few times until the dates are in small pieces.

Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Mix well.

Stir in the blueberries and walnuts.

Using a spatula, pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
