  • Select ripe bananas. They are the stars of this recipe that provide natural sweetness.
  • Use fresh or toasted walnuts for a satisfying crunch. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
  • Don't overwork the batter. Over-mixed batter results in tough, chewy energy bars.
