Peanut Butter Banana Bars
Peanut Butter Banana Bars are soft, chewy, moist bars packed with big flavor. Love this flavor combination!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (99 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed (about 2/3 cup)
- 1/2 cup (128 g) peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix well. Mix in the bananas and peanut butter, mixing just until combined.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until edges are browned and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 or 4 days.
