That sounds like a naturally sweet, wholesome recipe—perfect for someone avoiding sugar and flour! Here’s a simple way to prepare a flourless, sugar-free baked oat and fruit dessert with your ingredients:

Sugar-Free Baked Oat Apple Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (100 g) oatmeal (rolled oats or quick oats)

• 3 medium apples (grated or finely chopped)

• 1 ripe banana (mashed)

• ½ cup (120 ml) water

• 100 g (3.5 oz) dried blueberries

• 100 g (3.5 oz) raisins

Optional Add-ins (natural & sugar-free):

• 1 tsp cinnamon (pairs well with apples and raisins)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the fruit:

   • Grate or finely chop the apples.

   • Mash the banana with a fork.

3. Mix everything:

   • In a large bowl, combine oats, apples, mashed banana, water, raisins, and dried blueberries.

   • Add cinnamon and vanilla if using.

   • Mix well until evenly combined. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to soften the oats.

4. Bake:

   • Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly.

   • Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and set.

5. Cool and slice:

   • Let it cool before slicing into bars or squares. They firm up as they cool.

These bars are naturally sweet from the banana, raisins, and apples—no added sugar needed. Perfect as a snack or breakfast on the go!
