1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, chopped dates, almond butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish.
Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy your Banana Oat Breakfast Bars.
