Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.

Transfer the blended mixture to a greased baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and nut butter until well combined.

Fold the egg mixture into the oat mixture until just combined.

Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts if using.

Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, topped with yogurt or additional banana slices.
