Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the apple sauce, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the flapjack to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Lift the flapjack out of the pan using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, cut into 8 equal pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
