Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/3 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup very ripe banana** (mashed)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 2 tablespoon wheat germ

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper, allowing enough to paper to overhang on the sides to grasp and remove bars from pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, and butter until smooth and fluffy. I find an electric mixer works best for this.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, stir until combined.
  • Stir in the banana.
  • Add the oats, flour, wheat germ and baking soda until completely combined.
  • Spread in prepared pan.
  • Bake 20 to 22 minutes until set and lightly browned. Do not over-bake.
  • Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes in pan before cutting into bars.
  • Package individually in zip-top bags for easy breakfasts or snacks.
  • Store on countertop 3 to 4 day or in refrigerator 7 to 8 days.
