These chocolate crunch banana bars were an INSTANT hit with my son. Easy to make and absolutely delicious!

If you need a treat with some better-for-you ingredients, this is a great option! Base of oats gives you a fiber boost, and helps make it more filling. But the crunchy chocolate topping is obviously the best part 😉 I stored these on the counter for a few days, then they were finished!

Ingredients

1 mashed ripe banana
1 egg
3 tbsp peanut butter or sunflower butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1.25 cup oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup sprouted brown rice crisps

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a small 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together the mashed banana, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla until combined.
Stir in the oats until a thick batter forms.
Press mixture firmly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 17–20 minutes, or until the center is set and springs back lightly when pressed.
Let cool for about 5–10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips until smooth, then stir in the sprouted brown rice crisps.
Spread the chocolate crunch mixture over the bars and gently press down.
Let the topping set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy! And find more of my recipes here.
