Main Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 0.5 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter/sunflower seed butter
  • 2 cups rolled oats

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 9” baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Mash the bananas in a bowl until most of the chunks are out and they’re nice and creamy.
  • Stir in the almond butter until it is well-combined with the banana and a thick creamy substance results.
  • Mix in the rolled oats and chocolate chips and stir until everything is well-combined.
  • Transfer the bar mixture to the prepared baking pan and smooth it into an even layer.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the edges of the bars are golden-brown and the bars appear set up. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing and serving.
