Ingredients

1 cup Mashed Bananas 230g, about 3 medium or 2 large ripe bananas

0.5 cup Peanut Butter 125g, creamy or crunchy

0.25 cup Sugar 50g, coconut sugar or brown sugar

0.25 cup Unsweetened Applesauce 60g

0.5 cup Almond Milk 120ml, or any nondairy milk

2.5 cup Oats 213g, old-fashioned whole oats or quick oats, not instant

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

0.5 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract pure

1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips 180g, use dairy free for vegan

Equipment

Parchment paper

Large mixing bowl

9-inch square baking pan

Oven

Stand mixer or hand whisk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars from the pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl or in the bowl of your stand mixer, mash the bananas. On medium speed, beat or whisk in the remaining ingredients in the order listed. Batter will be a little thick, but still pourable.

Pour/spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the center is set (it will still look relatively soft!).

Remove from the oven and cool in the pan at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. After that, place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour until chilled. The bars are difficult to cut if they haven't been chilled.

Remove bars from the pan using the overhang on the sides then cut into bars. Sometimes I drizzle melted peanut butter over each, but that's optional.

Cover leftover bars tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
