Oh my goodness. These bars, you guys!! I could not stop eating them. They are so moist and chewy and loaded with peanut butter and chocolate – my weakness! You can even get away with eating them for breakfast because, BaNaNaS!
You know how some foods are just so homey and comforting? Like lemon rice soup or chocolate chip cookies. And banana bread! These bars totally fit into that category. They just feel like home. Does that sound weird? They are perfect with a cup of coffee, and if you ask me, you can enjoy them any time of day.
Make sure not to over bake these. You want them to stay moist and chewy, not get dried out and cakey. When you test them, pull them from the oven when moist crumbs are on the tester. Don’t wait for it to come out completely clean. And secondly, try them warm. Heavenly!!
