Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Add the rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips if using. Mix well until combined.
- Form the mixture into small patties or bars and place them in the air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t touch to allow even cooking.

- Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve with fresh berries on top if desired.
Tips or Variations

- Drizzle a little peanut butter or almond butter on top for extra richness.
