These bars are one of my go to snacks for my kids, (also are great for breakfast) when I have bananas that are past eating plain (anyone else family not touch a banana that has started to get brown spots) My family will not touch a banana when it has started to spot, so I have a few banana recipes that we love, or I will peel them slice them and put them in the freezer to add to smoothies, or make banana ice cream.

This recipe takes very little time, and if you don’t have almond flour it turns out great using all oats. If you like nuts they are a great addition, and the chocolate chips are of course optional but my family loves the banana and chocolate combination.

This recipe is gluten free, low in sugar and free from processed sugars (depending on chocolate chips you use).
