To achieve perfectly shaped Frozen Chocolate Banana Pie Bars, lining your pan correctly is key. Start by using a standard 9x9-inch square baking dish. Cut a piece of parchment paper that is large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the pan, allowing for some overhang. This overhang will act as handles, making it easy to lift out the bars once they are frozen. Lay the parchment paper in the pan, smoothing it into the corners and sides to minimize wrinkles. This technique not only facilitates easy removal but also ensures that the bars can be sliced cleanly without sticking to the pan.

Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional: Sliced bananas and crushed peanuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Mix in the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until thoroughly blended.

      Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.

        Incorporate Chocolate: Once melted, reserve a tablespoon of the chocolate for drizzling later. Stir the remaining melted chocolate into the banana-oat mixture until evenly distributed.

          Line the Pan: Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Pour the chocolate banana mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.

            Freeze the Bars: Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or until completely set.

              Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice them into bars or squares.

                Garnish (Optional): Drizzle the reserved melted chocolate over the bars and top with sliced bananas and crushed peanuts if desired.

                  Enjoy: Serve immediately or store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
