Peanut Butter Banana Snack Bars

Happy Friday! Today we interrupt all of the fall goodies for something not-so-fallish! If you like peanut butter and banana, this is the recipe for you!

See, I made these Peanut Butter Banana Snack Bars and they are everything. They are moist and perfectly peanut-buttery. Yes, I’m making a lot of words up in this post today! And the best news is that they are not that terrible for you either! I used a combo of whole wheat flour and AP flour and also threw in some oats for good measure, and used less sugar. I also opted for coconut oil over butter and also mixed in protein-packed Greek yogurt! You can slice these up for breakfast-on-the-go or for snacks. Adults like them and kids too!
