German Oatmeal Squares: A Delicious and Popular Recipe!

Grind the Oats and Almonds
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of oatmeal and 1/2 cup of almonds. Pulse until they are finely ground to form a coarse flour.

Mash the Banana
In a mixing bowl, mash 1 ripe banana until it is smooth and creamy.

Add Butter and Spices
Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, a pinch of vanillin, and ginger to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Mix Together
Add the ground oats and almonds to the banana mixture. Mix until everything is well combined to form a dough.

Spread the Mixture
Spread the dough evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, forming a square or rectangle shape.

Bake
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the mixture is firm to the touch.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
1. Cool Completely
  Let the baked oatmeal mixture cool completely on the tray. This helps to firm up the squares and makes them easier to cut.
2. Cut and Serve
  Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve. Enjoy this wholesome treat with your family!
