Ingredients
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup peanut butter
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch pan, or line it with parchment paper.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
-
Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda until just combined.
-
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing them into 9 squares.
Notes
-
Variations: Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter, or add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or dried fruit (raisins or cranberries) for extra texture and nutrition.
-
Sweeteners: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, or use a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
-
Storage: Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat by microwaving for 10-15 seconds.
