3. Add Greek yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until smooth and creamy.
4. Stir in oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness.
Do not overbake the bars to keep them soft and moist.
You can add chopped walnuts, pecans, or peanut butter chips for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
These bars freeze well for up to 3 months.
