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

Tips

Storage: Once cooled, bars can be wrapped individually in plastic and kept in the refrigerator for 5 days or frozen in a zip-top bag for up to 4 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours before serving. For a larger yield, increase the ingredient quantities by 1.5 and bakes in a 9x13 inch pan for 25-30 minutes. My co-worker cut this into 16 pcs.


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.
