1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly.
Stir in melted peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Add rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, and chopped nuts. Mix well.
Press the mixture into a lined 8×8-inch baking dish, using a spatula or the back of a spoon for an even layer.
Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
