Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, mash 2 medium ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt until fully combined.
Step 3: Fold in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips if using. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, flattening each slightly with the back of a spoon.
