Recipe Introduction
Peanut butter and bananas are a bit of a curious combination. It’s certainly always been a fascinating one to me. These may be a bit unexpected, but they’re definitely delicious.
If you’re among the fans of those two, then you’ll surely love these dense and moist bars. The peanut butter flavor gets you from the first bite, and then the bananas kick in for even more flavor.
For a little crunch, try using crunchy peanut butter or mix in a handful of chopped nuts. By Jennifer
