Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use a masher or fork to finely mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in the quick oats and shredded coconut until the mixture is well combined.
  4. If desired, mix in maple syrup, melted coconut butter or unsalted butter, and any optional ingredients such as chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper and cutting into squares.
