These banana oatmeal bars are a wholesome, soft, and chewy snack or breakfast option. Made with just four simple ingredients—rolled oats, mashed bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate chips—they are naturally sweet and satisfying.
Ingredients
-
4 cups rolled oats
-
2 cups mashed banana (about 6 medium bananas)
-
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
-
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray or dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mash and Mix:
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the peanut butter and stir until combined.
Combine the Ingredients:
Add the rolled oats and mix until evenly incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread and Flatten:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray. Spread it out evenly and press down firmly with the back of a spoon or with your hands.
Bake:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the bars feel set.
Cool and Slice:
Let the bars cool completely in the tray before slicing into 12 even pieces.
Recipe Note
- Add-Ins: Customize these bars with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
- Freezing Option: Freeze the bars in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating.
- Serving Suggestions: These bars are great as a snack on their own or as a quick breakfast.
