This recipe uses a base of almond butter, plus bananas, chocolate chips, cinnamon, & chia to create a decadent protein & fibre rich morning breakfast bar!
- 2.5 med-large super ripe bananas
- 1 cup almond butter, smooth
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/3 cup macadamia or almond milk OR maple syrup* see note
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds, ground
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips- + extra to sprinkle on top
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
-
Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8x8 baking pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, use an egg beater to combine banana, almond butter, nut milk or maple syrup (depending on your sweetness preference), vanilla, and egg until smooth.
-
Once combined, mix in dry ingredients until no lumps remain.
-
Stir in 1/2 cup (or more- measure this with your heart!) chocolate chips and optional add-ins if using.
-
Spread into baking dish and sprinkle with a handful of chocolate chips.
-
Place in oven to bake about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you undercook them a little they keep a gooey centre, so again this is all up to preference!
* I prefer mine a little less sweet, so I just use the bananas and chocolate chips for sweetener and use a nut milk to make up the extra liquid. If you have more of a sweet tooth use maple syrup or honey instead! Just make sure it is a liquid sweetener.
