Delicious soft oat bars flavoured with peanut butter and banana. Made with just six simple ingredients and perfect for a batch cook healthy breakfast
If time is tight in the mornings then these Peanut Butter & Banana Breakfast Bars are ideal to make up at the weekend and have on hand for busy weekdays.
They’re made with just six simple ingredients and sweetened only with banana, making them a great healthy alternative to shop bought muffins or breakfast bars.
They will keep in the fridge for a couple of days and can be reheated in the microwave. You can also freeze them and just pull out one at a time for breakfast. All freezing and defrosting instructions are below.
They come out at 175 calories per square. That’s without any toppings but you can add some extra peanut butter and banana like I have on top. They’re also delicious served with some greek yogurt on the side and a few berries.
