Ingredients
-
⅓ cup peanut butter
-
⅓ cup brown sugar
-
2 ½ tablespoons butter, soft
-
1 large egg
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 ripe banana, mashed
-
⅔ cup rolled oats
-
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons wheat germ
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
-
Beat together peanut butter, brown sugar, and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Mix in mashed banana. Stir in oats, flour, wheat germ, and baking soda until batter is well combined. Spread batter in the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
Cook’s Note
If you are not a banana fan, substitute 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for the banana.
When I don't have wheat germ, I use 2 tablespoons flax seed meal.
