Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Blondies

1/3 cup Peanut Butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoon butter
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup very ripe banana, mashed
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 tablespoon wheat germ

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper, allowing enough to paper to overhang on the sides to grasp and remove bars from pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, and butter until smooth and fluffy. I find an electric mixer works best for this.
Add the egg and vanilla, stir until combined.
Stir in the banana.
Add the oats, flour, wheat germ and baking soda until completely combined.
Spread in prepared pan.
Bake 20 to 22 minutes until set and lightly browned. Do not over-bake.

Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes in pan before cutting into bars.

Package individually in zip-top bags for easy breakfasts or snacks.

Store on countertop 3 to 4 day or in refrigerator 7 to 8 days.
