Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars

Hearty peanut butter banana oat bars that make for a healthy breakfast or snack you can feel great about feeding your family!

I seriously can’t believe we’re already talking back-to-school! Where did the summer go?

All three of my boys are going to be starting school this fall so I’m already thinking about a game plan for breakfast, lunches and after-school snacks. I’m going to try to bake and prepare as much as possible on Sundays so that we’re stocked and can easily serve up breakfast, pack lunches and be prepared for their hungry bellies when we get back home each afternoon.

These peanut butter banana oat bars are going to be making an appearance quite often! They’re filled with some of our most favorite ingredients and we could eat them for breakfast if we’re in a huge hurry, as a sweet treat in their lunch boxes, or with a glass of milk as an after school snack. We love ‘em!

It’s like eating oatmeal in a bar form that’ll keep you satisfied and energized for hours.

They’re hearty and healthy and oh so yummy! One bite in and all you want is more!

So easy to make and great for both adults and kiddos to eat…

If you’re looking for a quick breakfast, snack or dessert that you can feel great serving to the family, then these bars are it! They’re sure to be a hit!

Enjoy!
