Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, milk, and melted butter. Stir well.
  3. Add cooked rice, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Optional: add banana slices or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and set.
  7. Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve warm or chilled, plain or topped with syrup or nut butter.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Let the bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze for longer storage.
