- 30 ml maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond butter, and maple syrup to the bowl.
Stir in the chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt, mixing well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the dish before slicing into 8 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
