Peanut butter banana bars are a classic snack or dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they are quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Stir in the peanut butter and oats until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if desired.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Tips
- For a chewier bar, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats.
- For a more decadent bar, add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- To make the bars ahead of time, bake and cool them completely. Then, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
