1. Are these suppose to be super soft ??? Or did I under cook them ?? I ended up leaving them in for an extra 5 min.

2. I just made these and they were absolutely delicious! Question: how long do they last in the fridge since it’s got milk? I used almond milk. Thank you!

1. Yummm...I really like these. I'm not gonna lie, they do taste healthy, but in a good way. Just sweet enough to be enjoyable and just the right balance of PB and banana flavors. I had to bake mine for about 35 mins., I used two smaller bananas that were on the edge. I'm looking forward to having one for breakfast with coffee. Thanks for posting the recipe.

2. I have made quite a few breakfast bars through the years. This is the 1st I feel has the perfect flavor and such a satisfying consistency! I couldn't believe they were even better hours later than right out of the oven! The texture became PERFECT! Just enough bite! The second time I made them I made a double batch. I used one banana but since it was a double batch and I only had one banana I used apple sauce in the same measurement (appx.) I LOVED the applesauce /banana batch so much more because it tempered the banana flavor just enough so I could taste more nut flavor! Perfect now! I highly rec a double batch with 1/2 applesauce + 1/2 banana! I believe these are going to be an almost daily breakfast for our family. Oh-- I once added 1/2 handful of milk choc chips to a double batch--- just enough to make it wow without adding too much choc. It didn't detract from the oat bar at all and didn't make me wish for more choc either.

3. I absolutely love this recipe, I found it on pinterest about a year ago and have made it several times since! They are so easy and quick to make! These are about 120 calories per square (and the squares are big!), are high in protein and fiber, and low in sugar and fat. I love to eat them for breakfast or as a post work-out snack. If you want to make them a little more yummy drop a few spoonfuls of strawberry jam on top before baking and they become PB&J bars! YUM!

5. I am so happy I stumbled upon this recipe after searching for something like this for weeks. There is a smilier square at a bake shop my husband likes and he has been bugging me for a while to recreate it. It turned out well, but whatever you do, do not add flour of any kind! I thought, oh a smidgen won't hurt.. how wrong I was I had to bake them for fifteen extra minutes and it just wasn't worth it. I think next time I will substitute honey for the peanut butter though to make it more similar to the bake shops square.

2. I added two tablespoons of ground flaxseed, otherwise, I followed the recipe, even the baking Time was perfect!

3. I followed the suggestion to double the recipe, use one banana and approximately equal amount of applesauce. I also added about 1 cup of unsalted hulled sunflower seeds for extra protein and fiber. They added to the texture nicely as well. :)
