GLUTEN-FREE Dreamy Peanut Butter, Banana & Oatmeal Elvis Bar image

The generous amount of Peanut Butter makes these bars taste rich and creamy, the banana keeps it *ultra* moist and takes on a mellow background flavor, and the oatmeal holds it all together PLUS some chocolate thrown in for good measure :) These are better the next day, don't contain eggs or flour, and are a good way to use up some ripe bananas!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup softened butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 cups regular rolled oats (or 2 cups quick cook oats)

  • Sprinkle the baking soda over the entire mixture, add in the oatmeal and chocolate chips and blend until well combined.
