Tips:

Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are naturally sweeter and will add a moist texture to your oat bars.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the oat bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan: This will help the oat bars stay together when you cut them.
Bake the oat bars until the edges are golden brown: This will ensure that the oat bars are cooked through.
Let the oat bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter oat bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast option. They are packed with healthy ingredients like oats, peanut butter, and bananas. You can customize them to your liking by adding different mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts. These oat bars are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
