Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.

Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir to combine.

Add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is well incorporated.

Fold in your chosen mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or nuts.

Transfer the thick batter to the prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly into all corners.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out and slicing into squares.
