It’s always fun in our house when we discover new recipes that are delicious and allergy-friendly. This particular one has been adapted to be completely Egg, Gluten, & Nut Free.
My daughter I enjoy baking together. I love her smile and cheer when she takes that first bite. This recipe is a winner and she has already asked me to make it again.
One thing that I love about these bars is that the longer they sat and cooled, the better they tasted – Even days later! The banana helps keep them moist. In other words, make them ahead of time and enjoy all week!
Here at MOMablesâ„¢, we try not to endorse certain brands of food, and when we do, we feel it’s important to disclose this to you. However, we realize when it comes to food allergies it can be difficult to find products that are safe for all our needs. For this recipe, we used King Arthur Flour Gluten Free yellow cake mix. It is made in a Top-8 allergy free facility. Depending on your allergies, you could also use our very own MOMables Yellow Cake Mix which uses real wholesome ingredients! The same goes for the chocolate chips and sunflower seed spread: EnjoyLife brand is free of the Top-8 allergens and SunButter is the preferred Peanut Butter alternative for my family. It’s gluten, nut, dairy, and egg free as well as being vegan and kosher.

WHAT is sunflower seed spread?
Fran, sunflower seed spread is the “nut” free version of peanut butter. it’s a “butter” made from sunflower seeds. if your child has no nut allergies, feel free to substitute for any nut butter you like. :)
