Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Pour the rolled oats into the wet mixture and mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated.
Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to press it into an even layer, ensuring it reaches the edges of the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm to touch.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting.
Once cooled, lift the parchment paper out of the pan, place it on a cutting board, and slice the bars into 12 pieces.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
