Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Almond butter
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and free of large chunks.
Step 3
Add almond butter, honey, and a scoop of protein powder to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Mix in the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the mixture together until it forms a thick, sticky dough.
Step 5
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to spread it evenly and press it firmly into the pan.
Step 7
Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.
Step 8
Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place them on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.
Step 9
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze for longer storage.
