Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas mashed
- ¼ cup real maple syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup oats
- ½ cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- To a large bowl, add mashed banana, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well. 2 large ripe bananas ¼ cup real maple syrup 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Add in the oats, oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is incorporated. 1 cup oats ½ cup oat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon pinch of salt
- Slowly add in the chocolate chips and (optional) shredded coconut. The batter will be very thick - that’s ok. ¼ cup mini chocolate chips ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- Move batter into the cooking pan and flatten the top as much as possible. This will help you cut the bars a little easier and keep them from being too crumbly. Cook for 18-20 minutes. A butter knife or toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean, and the edges of the bars should be golden brown.
- Cool completely and then slice and enjoy!
