¾ Cup Peanut Butter
⅔ Cup Mashed Banana

1 Teaspoon Vanilla
½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
2 ½ Cups Rolled Oats
½ Cup Mini Chocolate Chips, Raisins, Peanuts, etc. (or a combination adding to ½ cup)

Instructions

Pulse the dates, peanut butter, banana, peanut powder, vanilla, and salt in a food processor.
Transfer to a bowl (or use a spatula in the bowl of your food processor) and stir in the oats and mix ins.
Transfer to a parchment-lined pan (8x8" or 9x9"). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Slice and serve. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Storage: Because these bars have a raw banana, I advise storing them in the fridge or freezer.
