- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until creamy. Mix in the peanut butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the banana bar mixture into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bars are fully cooked and the edges are golden brown.
- Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bars to check for doneness. If their internal temperature is 190 degrees F or higher, they are fully baked.
- Allow the bars to cool at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
