1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats can use old fashioned but they will be chewier
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons protein powder optional
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 bananas ripe and mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
peanut butter More, for the top, about 1/4 cup

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 square baking dish
2
In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients (oats, almond meal, flaxseed, salt, cinnamon and protein powder if using), set aside.
3
In a large bowl mash the banana. Add applesauce, honey, 2 TBS peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.
4
Stir dry ingredients into wet until combined. Spread mixture into the pan (should be moist but NOT soupy).
5
Bake 20 minutes (should be slightly brown around the edges and top should be set), remove from oven and spread peanut butter over the top of the bars (I like a really thick layer of peanut butter but it's to your own preference)
6
Continue baking for 10 minutes more or until firm and lightly browned around the edges. At this point the peanut butter layer will have tiny little bubbles in it.
7
Cool completely in the refrigerator and cut into 6 or 9 bars. Wrap each with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick grab and go breakfast!
