- ½cuppeanut butter,creamy or crunchy

- 1tspground cinnamon
- 1tsppure vanilla extract
- 1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars from the pan. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, mash the bananas. At medium speed, beat or whisk in the remaining ingredients in the order listed. Batter will be a little thick, but still pourable.
-
Pour or spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until the center is set.
-
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes. After that, place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour until chilled. The bars are difficult to cut if they haven’t been chilled.
-
Remove bars from the pan using the overhang on the sides then cut into bars. Drizzle melted peanut butter over each, if desired.
-
Serve and enjoy.
