Ingredients
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup honey or brown sugar
½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the peanut butter and honey (or brown sugar) to the mashed bananas, and mix until fully combined.
-
Add the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
-
Bake the Bars: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
-
Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into 9 squares. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer freshness.
Notes
-
Variations: Substitute peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter. Add-ins like dried fruit or chopped nuts can also add extra flavor and crunch.
-
Sweeteners: For a sugar-free version, use stevia or monk fruit as a substitute for honey or brown sugar.
-
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months, wrapped individually in plastic wrap.
