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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, almond milk, honey, and almond butter, stirring until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
