Ingredients

4 cups rolled oats
1 cup almond butter can substitute for any nut or seed butter of choice
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups bananas measured once mashed
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, reserving 1-2 inches of parchment paper over the sides, for easily removal.
In a large mixing bowl, add all your ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, fold through the chocolate chips, reserving a few to top the cookie bars with.
Transfer the batter to the lined pan, adding extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 15 minutes or until just beginning to go golden around the pan.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
