Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, thoroughly mashed

1/3 cup honey (or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup chia seeds

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, start by adding the mashed bananas and pour in the honey (or maple syrup). Use a fork or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until they form a smooth, consistent mixture.

    Next, add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the banana mixture. Stir well until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.

      Gradually fold in the chia seeds and rolled oats into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly mixed throughout. If you want an extra touch of sweetness, feel free to mix in a handful of chocolate chips or shredded coconut during this step.

        Pour the well-blended mixture into a lined 8x8-inch baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure to press down slightly to help it hold its shape once frozen.

          Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze completely for about 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is solid and firm.

            After the freezing period, remove the dish from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften; this will make cutting easier.

              With a sharp knife, carefully slice the frozen mixture into squares or bars of your preferred size.

                Transfer the squares into an airtight container and store them in the freezer, where they will stay fresh for up to a month. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat, or let them sit out for a few moments to soften slightly before savoring.

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 4-6 hours (freeze time) | Servings: 16 squares

                    - Presentation Tips: For an appealing touch, serve the squares arranged on a colorful plate with a sprinkle of your chosen toppings on top. A small bowl of extra toppings on the side can also invite creativity for those who want to customize their squares!
