I just made this recipe for the first time and my son liked these. He liked them even better after he made a breakfast cereal out of them by crumbling a few up into a bowl and pouring some milk over it. He said it kept him feeling full for hours . I guess it was the protein powder in them. I have already made a second batch of them to keep on hand for a quick breakfast. I like the fact that they are homemade with healthy ingredients and no added sugar. I found this recipe here at Allrecipes.com
Mash up two ripe bananas in a bowl.
Combine the Oats, wheat flour, flax seed, and protein powder in a separate bowl until mixed well. Add the peanut butter, honey,and bananas and mix well.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread mixture out until it is a half inch thick. The mixture will be dense and you will need to press it down into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cut into squares while it is still warm.
