- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is well combined. If using chocolate chips, fold them in gently.
