Peanut butter and banana is probably my favorite combination. Everyday, for a snack, I eat a piece of toasted sprouted bread topped with peanut butter and bananas. It is such a good flavor combo and any chance I get I try to think of new ways to enjoy these flavors!
Yesterday I bought like 15 bananas at Trader Joe’s. I am always using them up so quickly and then I run out and then I can’t make my favorite snack. Sad day. But then I realized, once I got home, that I will never use all of these bananas before they start to get really brown. So I baked a snack.
These oat bars are amazing. Super flavorful and I added some dark chocolate which made them even better.
If you are anything like me and can’t get enough of peanut butter and bananas, then this is a recipe you will definitely need to try!
