Peanut Butter Banana Protein Bars (Nature Valley Dupe!)

Hey everyone, As I was sitting at home today, Inspiration struck me. So I ran out to the store and got some things and came home and started baking.

Today I am making these delicious, and secretly healthy, Peanut Butter Banana Protein Bars. YAY!!!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 RIPE Banana
• 2 TBSP of Peanut Powder (I used JIF)
• 1 TBSP of Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (I used Great Value Brand)**
• 1 cup oats (Quick or Steel Cut will work) 
• 1/2 Scoop of Protein Powder (can omit if desired)

**If you don't want the fat from the peanut butter, I would add more mashed banana

Directions

1. Mash your banana and add into a bowl. Make sure it's completely mashed or it won't bind as well.
2. Add both of your peanut butter products. (powder and regular)
3. Add oats
4. Mix thoroughly.
5. Fold in Protein Powder until completely mixed.
6. Bake in Oven at 355* for 8-12 minutes.
7. Top with desired toppings, (I used chia)

The longer you cook the harder they will be and more similar to the Nature Valley bars they will get, but make sure you don't burn though.

ENJOY and HAPPY LIVING :-)
