Ingredients
- 2 each ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup oat milk
- ½ cup real maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups certified gluten free oats
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, oat milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add the oats, flax meal, cinnamon, baking powder, and Kosher salt. Mix well, and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb some of the liquid.
- Once the mixture has sat for 30 minutes, fold in the chocolate chips, and press firmly into the lined baking pan. Place in the oven, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the mixture is set and lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and let cool completely before cutting into 12 equal bars.
- To cut into bars, cut the mixture in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into 6 pieces. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
