Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown.

Notes

Make sure your bananas are ripe; it’ll add natural sweetness.
If you’re vegan, swap out whey protein for a plant-based option.
Store these bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
Feel free to add other nuts or dried fruits for added flavor and texture.
