Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉/176℃. Line a 9x9 baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Mix together flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, corstarch, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups rolled oats, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/8 tsp cloves
  • In a large bowl, add brown sugar, mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and oil. Whisk until well combined. The mixture may be lumpy from the bananas, that is normal.
    1/3 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups bananas, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup oil
  • Add the dry ingredients in and mix together gently with a spatula just until a soft batter forms - do not over-mix!
  • Transfer into the pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  • To make the ganache, combine peanut butter, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate in the microwave at 15 second intervals or using a double boiler method until smooth. Make sure the ganache is warm, and not hot. Pour on top of cooled bars and spread evenly. Place the bars in the fridge to set, then slice and enjoy!
