When I see brown spotty bananas, I see an opportunity to bake! I wasn't in the mood to make another banana bread so I decided to whip up this fun recipe instead. I wish I added protein powder to give them a little extra boost but the peanut butter and oats do provide some protein. These bars taste best warmed up but they would make a great on-the-go breakfast or snack for busy weekdays!
