My 6 year old asked for choc chip muesli bars that you get from the supermarket, so I made her these chocolate and banana muesli bars and they got a big thumbs up from all of my children. They are simple and super delicious, with only three ingredients! My kids love it when I pop one of these in their lunchboxes and they are a great way to use up those over ripe bananas.
