Peanut butter and banana oat bars recipe
Make a batch of these delicious peanut oat bars and pop them in the freezer to have a ready supply. They're great for eating on the go or when you need a healthy snack.
Tip: Freeze the cooked bars in an airtight container, slotting greaseproof paper between them to stop them from sticking together. Thaw at room temperature then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
