Ingredients:

1.50 cups walnuts
1 cup dried coconut meat
2 bananas
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp strawberry jam

Start your day with a burst of natural flavors by trying out these delicious Banana Paleo Breakfast Bars. Packed with wholesome ingredients like walnuts, dried coconut meat, and ripe bananas, these bars are perfect for a quick, nutritious breakfast or a tasty mid-morning snack.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal of the bars later.

2. Process the Walnuts: In a food processor, add 1.5 cups of walnuts. Pulse them until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as you don’t want to turn them into walnut butter.

3. Add Coconut: Add the 1 cup of dried coconut meat to the food processor. Pulse it a few times to combine it well with the chopped walnuts.

4. Incorporate Bananas: Peel the 2 bananas and break them into chunks. Add the banana pieces to the food processor. Blend until the bananas are thoroughly mashed and mixed with the walnut and coconut mixture.

5. Add Flavoring: Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of salt to the mixture in the food processor. Blend again until everything is well combined, and the mixture has a dough-like consistency.

6. Layer the Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.

7. Add the Jam: Measure out 5 tbsp of strawberry jam. Drop spoonfuls of the jam all over the top of the pressed mixture. Using the back of a spoon or a butter knife, gently spread the jam to create an even layer across the top.

8. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the mixture is set. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

9. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the mixture out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into bars of your desired size.

10. Serve or Store: Enjoy your Banana Paleo Breakfast Bars immediately or store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for up to a week for a quick, delicious, and healthy breakfast option.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness, which complements the apricot jam and makes the bars taste even better.

- For an extra crunch, lightly toast the walnuts before using them in the recipe.

- Feel free to use homemade strawberry jam to control the sweetness and ensure it fits your paleo diet.

- Line your baking dish with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the bars after baking and reduce cleanup time.

- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares to ensure they hold together well.

These Banana Paleo Breakfast Bars are not only easy to make but also a fantastic way to enjoy a nutritious and delicious start to your day. With simple ingredients and a few useful tips, you'll have a batch of tasty bars ready to fuel your mornings.
