Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup instant or quick cooking oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Add the bananas to a large bowl and mash until almost smooth. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Add in the oats, salt, and baking powder and mix to combine. Fold in 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the rest for the top of the bars.
  • Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, using a spoon or spatula to smooth it out on top. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the top of the bars. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool and cut into 6-8 pieces.
