Description
These bars were my mom’s favorite after-school snack recipe—just stir, bake, and go. With ripe bananas, hearty oats, nut butter, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips, they’re sweet, soft, and satisfying. Great for breakfasts on the run or a cozy afternoon bite with tea.
Ingredients
1½ cups mashed bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup chocolate chips
½ tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8″ pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Stir in oats and salt, then fold in chocolate chips.
Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Notes
Hearty, wholesome, and just the right amount of sweet—these bars make healthy snacking something to look forward to.
