Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup maple syrup

2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if vegan)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Sliced bananas and additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish (9x9 or similar size) with a bit of oil or cooking spray.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.

      In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

        Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are evenly coated. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts if using.

          Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top with sliced bananas and additional chocolate chips if desired.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly firm to the touch. You can also check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.

              Once baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious, healthy treat!
