Banana Breakfast Energy Bars
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray or butter.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, rich brown sugar, and softened butter. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until they form a smooth and velvety texture.
4
Introduce the egg into the mixture, followed by the sweet essence of vanilla. Continue to blend until these ingredients are fully incorporated and well combined.
5
Mash ripe bananas into a pulp, then fold them seamlessly into the existing mixture. Combine this with the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, and baking soda until your batter is thoroughly blended.
6
Pour the final mixture into your prepared 9x9-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
7
Place the baking pan in your preheated oven and bake until the mixture is set, lightly browned, and has achieved the perfect doneness. This should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
8
Remove your baked goods from the oven and allow them to cool completely within the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars for serving.
