Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease it lightly with coconut oil.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips to the batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure it’s flat and uniform.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly firm to touch.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish before transferring it to a cutting board.
Cut into 12 equal bars and serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
