Peanut Butter–Banana Oatmeal Bars

 

Ingredients

1¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

 

½ cup all-purpose flour

 

½ cup whole-wheat flour

 

1½ tsp baking pdr

 

1½ tsp cinnamon pdr

 

½ tsp salt

 

1¼ cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium bananas)

 

6 tbsp smooth natural peanut butter, divided

 

¼ cup whole milk

 

¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

 

3 tbsp honey

 

1 large egg

 

2 tsp vanilla extract

 

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. 

 

Whisk oats,  all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl.  

Whisk banana, 4 tablespoons peanut butter, milk, applesauce, honey, egg and vanilla together in a large bowl until combined. Fold the oat mixture into the banana mixture until just combined and no dry streaks remain; transfer to the prepared baking pan, spreading into an even layer. Dollop the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter evenly on top. Using a toothpick or a paring knife, drag the peanut butter throughout the oat mixture, creating a marbled look.  

 

 Bake until the edges begin pulling away from the pan sides, about 30 minutes. 

 

Let stand in the pan on a wire rack until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
