How to Make Cinnamon Chip Banana Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together ¾ cup packed brown sugar and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and evenly arrange 2-3 ripe but firm bananas, sliced about ¼ inch thick, over the partially baked crust. Sprinkle with ½ cup cinnamon chips.
- Top with the remaining oat mixture, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to create an even layer.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
- Store leftover bars, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
