  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
  • 1 large egg (50g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (30ml)
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (180g)

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (35g)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (15g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until velvety smooth.
  3. Whisk in the peanut butter, almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until the mixture is completely homogenous.
  4. Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chia seeds using a spatula, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spoon.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are deep mahogany-brown and the center feels springy to the touch.
  8. Let the bake cool for 10 minutes to allow the structure to set before slicing.
