Description
The classic Internet/Pinterest/TikTok healthy dessert is some combination of bananas, chocolate chips, oats, and peanut butter (I'm sure you've noticed). This recipe is my take on that formula, and works really well out of the freezer as a dessert or even a breakfast. For a baked recipe with similar ingredients, see my Peanut Butter Banana Bars. Or check out any of my other cookie recipes!

  1. Mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Mix in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until fully combined. Stir in the oat flour. Fold in most of your chocolate chips, reserving some for the top
    1. Line an 9" square pan with parchment paper. Evenly press your dough into all sides of the pan, and press in your remaining chocolate chips
    1. Freeze for about 1 hour (or refrigerate for 3) before slicing into 16. Store in the fridge or freezer
    Notes
    1. You can also make a double batch in a 9x13" pan, and cut into 32 bars. If you're struggling to visualize how to slice this, here's what helped for me: Cut it in half to make 2 equal squares, and then cut each square into 16 to get a total of 32
