Prepare a 9” square or 7”x11” rectangular baking dish by greasing and lining with parchment paper. Leave some excess parchment paper on 2 sides of the dish to help lift the bars out of the dish

In a large bowl, mash 3 medium bananas until smooth

Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until fully combined

Add 2 1/4 cups of old fashioned oats, 1/3 cup of protein powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix until combined

Add a cup of chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate and mix until evenly distributed

Transfer the mixture into the prepped baking dish and spread it evenly

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until lightly set

Allow the bars to cool in the baking dish for about an hour before transferring them onto a cutting board

Chill the bars for an hour or more to firm up the texture before slicing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator
