Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray an 8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the almond milk, protein powder, flax seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, agave/maple syrup, salt, vanilla and baking powder and whisk together.
In a small bowl mash banana and mix with peanut butter, then add to the to the wet mixture and whisk until blended well.
Add the oats to the mixture and mix together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Add the chocolate and fold into mixture to distribute. Pour mixture into prepared pan and sprinkle the top of the oats with some extra chocolate chips and if you wish, some sliced bananas.
Place pan in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until set.
Once the mixture has cooled, slice and serve with maple syrup, agave, some Greek yogurt or a little almond milk or however you like! I like to warm my slice up in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before devouring! YUM!
