01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mash in the banana until it’s well incorporated. Next, add the eggs, melted butter, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract, stirring everything together until the batter is nice and smooth. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool a bit before slicing and serving.
