Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • For gluten-free banana oat bars, use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • If you prefer a less sweet bar, reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
