Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond, but any kind will do nicely)
• 3 tablespoons honey*
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy—I used natural creamy)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 medium banana, quartered and diced

Directions

• Place rack in the center reheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat an 8×8 inch square pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, egg, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine . The batter will be very wet. Fold in the diced banana, then pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until thickened and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into bars, and serve.
