  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  8. Serve warm or chilled, plain or topped with syrup or nut butter.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Let the bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze for longer storage.
