Perfect protein fiber snack : Banana Bread Bars

Ingredients
Dry bowl
* 1 cup vanilla protein powder (I used Transparent Labs™ but as long as yours is NSF verified, NSF sport verified or informed choice/sport to make sure label accuracy and safety )
* 1.5 cups oat flour
* 1/2 cup quick oats
* 2 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp nutmeg
* Dash of salt
Wet bowl
* 2 medium bananas, mashed until puréed
* 1/4 cup peanut butter (cashew butter recommended for less peanut butter flavor)
Fold-ins
* 1/2 cup no-sugar-added chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup roasted walnuts, chopped
Directions
1. In one bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, quick oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. In a second bowl, mash the bananas until puréed, then stir in the peanut butter.
3. Combine the wet and dry mixtures and mix until a batter forms. No sweetener needed; the banana and protein powder provide sweetness.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
5. Pan size, bake temp, and bake time: to be added.
6. Cool completely and cut into 16 bars.
