Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Once baked, allow the bars to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares or bars.
