Ingredients

For the bars:

  • 2 cups rolled oats use gluten-free, if preferred
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk any milk will work
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter I used all-natural crunchy PB from Trader Joe's
  • 1/4 cup honey use maple syrup for a vegan option
  • 3 small ripe bananas about 1 cup, mashed

For the chocolate drizzle (optional):

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips I use Enjoy Life brand mini chips. They are vegan.
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan with an all-natural cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine all bar ingredients in a medium bowl and pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes and until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow bars to cool for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
  • If using chocolate drizzle- warm chocolate chip and coconut oil in a small microwaveable bowl for 20 second intervals, stirring each time. When chocolate is melted, use a spoon to drizzle over the tops of the bars. Enjoy!

Notes

Chocolate and PB are a classic combo. You could also melt peanut butter or peanut butter chips to drizzle on top for even more decadence.
