Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars

Looking for a healthier snack for after school...after work....

after falling asleep at the computer and drooling all over your keyboard?

No, that did NOT happen to me.

I swear.

These are totally yummy and I consider them "wholesome."

After all, we're talking natural ingredients mixed together with love.

Joy to the world, all the boys and girls.

Say "hi" ~ I'm in the spoon!

A little protein, a little fruit...throw in some whole grain oats...

...and you've got yourself a moist and delicious snack bar.

Yes...I got a new square baker...yay, me!!!

They kind of remind me of more of a muffin texture,

so they're not hard by any means.

Soft and a little crumbly...great with milk.

Ready?

Get your mixing bowls...

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups quick oats (or regular rolled oats)
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 large mashed banana
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

What to do:

• Mix the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
