This week's recipe is perfect for fueling busy mornings or a midday energizing boost snack, the Peanut Butter & Banana Oatmeal Bars! Who doesn't love a breakfast you can eat on the go with the satisfaction of a baked good "treat" that will support a healthy waistline?!

3. In a medium size bowl mix all ingredients together with a fork until well blended

4. Pour mixture into baking pan or spoon into a mini loaf or muffin tray

5. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes (or until edges are golden brown and toothpick comes out clean)
