This Banana Breakfast Squares recipe is banana bread with all the healthy, hearty, sweet-but-not-too-sweet things you need for a morning boost. In addition to bananas, there’s whole wheat flour, oats, pecans, dates, flax seeds and the most essential thing for brekkie– espresso powder. I made just a third of the recipe in my six-inch square pan and still got nine soft and chubby squares out it. TBH, I’m never up early enough to actually make breakfast treats for breakfast. When I make muffins or scones, I usually just wind up having breakfast for dessert, which these squares are fine for, too, but they’re such good keepers that I actually have been able to enjoy them with my morning coffee for the last couple of days.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

Looks like your cake came out perfect. Leftovers did keep well.

These are keepers. I am having them again for breakfast. They are just as good if not better!

Oh, those are so cute, their little chubby selves sitting all together waiting their turns. Yum.

Hahaha I am with you…if we have breakfast treats..it is because I made them the day or night before…never the morning of. 😂. These were a hit with my group and a good use of ripe bananas! Love your pic 😍
