Hello blog-o-sphere. Last week was crazy busy so the meals were quick and easy and nothing terribly exciting to report. I did try these oat bars, however, and I love them!
Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Squares
No flour! No butter! No oil! And barely any sugar! I entered this recipe into My Fitness Pal and was happy to discover that one square is only 134 calories! A great breakfast snack! I used all natural peanut butter that I buy at a local store. It is, literally, ground peanuts and maybe a hint of oil, but it's not terribly flavorful. These bars are not bursting with flavor, but I think that's perfect for a breakfast food. They taste mostly like oatmeal. The banana flavor did come out a bit stronger the longer they sat. I love these and would definitely add them to the list of things to make again.
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 large mashed banana
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 large mashed banana
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Mix together the quick cooking oats, light brown sugar, baking powder, kosher salt and ground cinnamon.
Add in the vanilla extract, milk and egg. Mix the ingredients together.
Then add in the mashed banana and peanut butter. Combine all of the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 by 8 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Cut into 9 squares and enjoy!
