- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and flaxseed or chia if using.

Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
