Description

These delicious vegan chocolate chip banana bars are easy to make and perfect for a snack or dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 ripe bananas)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (runny consistency)
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk (oat, soy, almond)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegan mini chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the coconut sugar, peanut butter, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients: Fold in the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Bake: Add the batter to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool and slice: Cool completely before slicing into bars (I know it’s tempting, but patience is key). Enjoy!

Notes

  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
