Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper
Mash the overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth
Add the natural peanut butter to the banana puree and whisk until well combined
Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips or maple syrup until fully incorporated
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the center is set but still slightly soft
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.

Toasting the oats before mixing can enhance the flavor.

Do not overbake; bars should remain fudgy.
