How to Make Oatmeal Fudge Peanut Butter Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional).
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared 8-inch square baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. 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.
  7. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will allow them to firm up nicely.
  8. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
