Equipment

  • 9x9 baking tray
  • parchment paper
  • large bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana ~2 ½ medium-size bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter Use peanut butter with only peanuts and salt.
  • ½ cup almond milk Can use any non-dairy option or regular milk.
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup oat flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips + more for topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9x9 baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together mashed banana, eggs, peanut butter, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Stir in rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon and salt. Stir in chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the parchment-lined baking tray and spread in an even layer. Top with additional chocolate chips.
  • Move to the oven and bake at 350F for 30 - 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before cutting into 9 squares.

Notes

Make sure the bananas are spotty and brown as they help sweeten the recipe. I like to mash the bananas, and then measure to make sure I get an even cup. You can use any non-dairy milk option in place of almond milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, hemp milk, or coconut milk (from a carton not canned).
