Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8X8- or 9X9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
Add the bananas, vanilla, applesauce, and honey or agave nectar to the blender and process until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips (if using). Bake for 14-18 minutes until set around the edges and just barely moist in the center.

Notes

Oats: I used old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. I haven't made them using quick oats but I suspect they'll work just fine (if it were me, I'd cut down on the oats just slightly if using quick oats since they will probably measure out a bit more than the rolled oats before blending).
