4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Bars with Oats in 30 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Note: This ensures the bars don't stick to the bottom.
2. Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork until the consistency is liquid and bubbly with only small lumps.
4. Measure the peanut butter and add it directly into the banana puree.
5. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the oil and fruit are completely emulsified into a tan colored cream.
6. Pour in the oats and stir with a spatula. Note: Ensure every oat is coated so they hydrate evenly during baking.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips gently so they are evenly distributed.
8. Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
9. Bake for 20 minutes until the edges are golden and the center feels springy to the touch.
10. Cool completely in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting and slicing.
