Start by buttering or oiling the bottom and sides of a 9inch casserole dish or cast iron skillet. This will help keep the contents from sticking and create a nice crust on the edges.
Preheat oven to 350F and bring a pot with 3 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
Cook down your oats. If you accidentally cook them too dry, just simply add in a bit more water (or you can even use Almond milk for a little more added sweetness).
In a large mixing bowl, mash up the bananas with a fork. Add in the cooked oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, chopped/slivered almonds, vanilla, honey and baking powder. Mix together thoroughly.
(Optional) Set the bowl in the fridge for up to 15 minutes for everything to cool before adding the chocolate chips. The heat will cause them to melt - unless that's your thing, then by all means skip this step.
Add in the chocolate chips to the mixture before placing in your casserole dish. You may sprinkle more chips on top thereafter.
Bake for 30 minutes and wait to cool before serving.
