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 (Elisabeth’s version calls for agave) 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy—I used natural creamy) 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 large egg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 large banana, quartered and diced
Directions
Place rack in the center reheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat an 8x8 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.
