Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 quarter cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips until a thick batter forms.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut the mixture into 8 bars and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
