Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bars

So I am always on the look-out for different breakfast ideas.  I also am always looking for different oat recipes.  I absolutely love oats but oatmeal gets a little boring after a while.  So I came across this recipe a while back.  One of my favorite things about this recipe is it's not loaded with ten pounds of sugar.  Only one kind, just brown sugar and only 1/4 cup!  So get those ovens ready and let's start baking breakfast!

---

First mix together oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Then mix in the banana and peanut butter.

Then beat in vanilla, milk and egg.

Spread evenly into an 8x8 pan and bake!

Let the bars cool completely and then cup up and enjoy!

Go ahead and spread some extra peanut butter on one and eat it like that.  No worries I won't judge. Happy Treats!
