Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (350 F) and line a 11 x 7 baking dish with parchment paper. Place the oats, peanut butter, macadamia oil, vanilla, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder and bananas into the large bowl of a food processor and blitz until smooth, approximately 1 minute. Add the dates and process for another minute. Use a spatula to fold through the cranberries and pecans.

Cut into bars and enjoy.
