- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana and peanut butter mixture.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Try adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
