Grind the oats into a fine flour using a spice grinder or a mini food processor for 1 minute. Alternatively, pulse them in a small bowl using an immersion blender until no large flakes remain.
In a small bowl, stir together the oat flour, protein powder, and a tiny pinch of salt. Add the smooth mashed banana (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), honey, vanilla, and the water. Stir with a spatula until a very stiff dough forms. If the dough is still crumbly and does not hold together, add more water 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Press the dough firmly into a rectangular bar about 1/2 inch thick on a piece of parchment paper. Place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 12 seconds until the surface just looks dry. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the bar to firm up and become chewy.
