Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Overripe bananas
- 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, almond milk, honey, and almond butter, stirring until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan, and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 10 bars and enjoy. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
