Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed about 1 cup
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup avocado oil or unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or almond extract
  • cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Equipment

  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, maple syrup, peanut butter, avocado oil (or applesauce), and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to form a thick batter.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and flaky sea salt on top.
  7. Bake for 28–35 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set. A toothpick should come out mostly clean.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. Store covered at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
