Freeze individually wrapped bars for easy grab-and-go snacks

Method

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper (I used a 20 cm x 20 cm baking dish)
  • 2
    Mash the bananas, then add the oats and mix well
  • 3
    Top with chocolate and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown
  • 4
    Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars
  • 5
    Buon appetito!

    • Storage

    Freeze for up to 3 months

    To defrost, transfer them from the freezer to the refrigerator overnight

    You can warm them up in the oven before serving if desired
