Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large very ripe bananas, peeled
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8‑inch square baking pan with parchment. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
  2. Stir in the oats and peanut butter until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan in an even layer, using wet fingers to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the top is set and the edges are lightly golden.
  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a rack before slicing into 8 squares.

Notes

These bars soften a bit at room temperature; refrigerate them for the firmest texture. For a nut‑free version, use sunflower seed butter and double‑check that your chocolate chips are made without dairy.
