Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed Choose bananas with plenty of brown spots for optimal sweetness.
  • 2 cups milk Can be dairy or non-dairy.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup For added sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips work well.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • a pinch of salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish (around 8x8 inches) to prevent sticking.
  2. In a bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas into a smooth consistency. Add milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and stir until thoroughly combined.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry oat mixture into the wet banana mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mix into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  6. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Top with sliced bananas, additional chocolate chips, or a dollop of yogurt for a delicious serving!
