Ingredients

2 medium spotted or brown bananas, mashed (200 grams/about 3/4-1 cup)
1/2 cup peanut butter (128 grams)
1/2 cup milk (any kind will work)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats (200 grams)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
oil, for greasing (I used a little coconut oil)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8x8 square baking dish.
Mix together wet ingredients. Add bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork until no lumps remain. Add peanut butter, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Stir in dry ingredients. Add oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and stir until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. The batter should be somewhat wet (see photos above).
Bake. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading out evenly. If desired, sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on the top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Enjoy! Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

these have a slight peanut butter flavor, but if you love peanut butter, I would suggest adding more.
