I adapted this great no-bake dessert bar recipe from an old cookbook I have and we love the results! The addition of banana is wonderful and it pairs perfectly with the peanut butter and chocolate. Scroll down to see a video I created that shows just how easy this dessert is made!
No-Bake Peanut Butter Banana Fudge Bars
serves 9-12
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 1/4 cup rolled oats (old fashion or quick cook)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Spray an 8×8 square pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment. (I adore using the dual foil-parchment paper as it molds nicely to pans but still provides the non-stick awesomeness of parchment paper!)
In a microwaveable bowl, combine butter with brown sugar. Microwave on high for 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Add oatmeal, stir and return to the microwave for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir in vanilla. Measure out about 3/4 cup of the oat mixture and press remaining mixture into the 8×8 pan. Slice banana and spread around on top of the oat mixture.
Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir until combined and spread over bananas. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup oats onto the chocolate. Refrigerate 2-3 hours. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Store any remaining bars in the fridge.

I want to like your website so much but the adds (at least on the mobile platform) make it impossible to read. š
