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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the rolled oats into the wet mixture and mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm to touch.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting.

Step 9

Once cooled, lift the parchment paper out of the pan, place it on a cutting board, and slice the bars into 12 pieces.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
