4. Prepare the Topping
While the base is cooling, let’s prepare our decadent topping. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl along with the butter.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
Stir in the chopped nuts. This adds a delightful crunch and a boost of healthy fats and protein.
5. Assemble and Chill
Once the base has cooled completely, pour the chocolate nut mixture over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the topping to set. This not only makes it easier to cut but also enhances the overall texture and flavor.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once chilled, lift the dessert out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or bars and serve.

Tips for Perfect Banana Oat Delights
Banana ripeness: Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness. If your bananas aren’t quite ripe enough, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
Oat texture: If you prefer a finer texture, pulse the oats in a food processor before adding them to the batter.
