Soft Baked Chocolate Banana Protein Bars

Soft, chewy, chocolate bars that are so simple to make and have a great boost of protein, too!
Course: Dessert, Snack
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 160kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 350 g)
  • 1 tbsp honey (21 g)
  • 2 tsp cocoa powder (4 g)
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (64 g)
  • 2 cups dry oatmeal (160 g)
  • 4 tbsp chocolate chips, divided (60 g)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (16g)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350. Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray. 
  • Combine mashed bananas, honey, cocoa powder, protein powder, and dry oatmeal until mixed well. Fold in 3 tbsp of chocolate chips. Pour batter into sprayed 8X8 pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until edges are beginning to brown and center is set.
  • After the bars are taken out of the oven, melt the remaining tablespoon of chocolate chips with the tablespoon of peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. About 30 seconds in the microwave was enough for me. Stir peanut butter and chocolate chips together until completely smooth. Place chocolate mixture into a sandwich size plastic bag. Carefully clip a very small piece of the bottom of the plastic bag.  Drizzle the bars with the chocolate by squeezing the chocolate through the hole in the sandwich bag.
  • Allow bars to cool completely, cut into 10 bars, and enjoy!
