These protein bars are a bit crumbly, but they still taste great. I would recommend pressing them firmly into the pan before refrigerating.

I love how versatile these protein bars are. You can add different nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to change up the flavor.

These protein bars are a great way to get a quick and easy breakfast or snack. They're also a great way to use up ripe bananas.

I found that these protein bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or maple syrup next time.

The combination of banana, peanut butter, and chocolate chips is a classic for a reason. It's hard to go wrong with this flavor combination.
