How to Make Oatmeal Fudge Peanut Butter Squares

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 mashed ripe banana. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the oat mixture. Stir until well combined.
Stir in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional).
Pour the batter into the prepared 8-inch square baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will allow them to firm up nicely.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
