Peel the bananas and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the bananas until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency. A few small chunks are okay for texture.
Add the peanut butter (or almond butter) to the mashed bananas and stir well until fully combined.
Drizzle the honey over the mixture and sprinkle in the cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
If you'd like some added texture, fold in the rolled oats evenly throughout the spread.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or spice as needed by adding more honey or cinnamon.
Spread the Monkey Spread generously over whole wheat bread, crackers, or rice cakes.
Serve immediately as a snack or breakfast option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
