Preparation

Step 1

Place rack in the center reheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat an 8x8 inch square pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, egg, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine . The batter will be very wet. Fold in the diced banana, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
