Description
These oatmeal fudge bars combine together the delicious internet healthy dessert ingredients - bananas, chocolate, peanut butter, and oats. They can be totally added sugar free if you use sugar free chocolate chips, but here I've decided to make a homemade honey sweetened chocolate for the fudge filling instead. The bottom crust and crumble topping have a delicious banana peanut butter flavor, and the fudge is rich, chocolatey, and full of delicious peanut buttery goodness

Ingredients
Serving(s)
Crust
- 2 medium Banana, overripe
- 1 tbsp Honey, or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Powdered peanut butter

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- In a bowl, combine together the crust/crumble ingredients - mashed banana, honey, vanilla, powdered peanut butter, and quick oats. Mix until well combined. Oat flour will work in place of powdered peanut butter if you desire
- In another bowl, add the melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, honey, and peanut butter. Mix with a spatula. You could also use 1 cup (170 g) sugar free chocolate chips in place of the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and honey. Melt chocolate in the microwave, and mix with the peanut butter to make the fudge
- In a lined 9" square baking pan, spread 2/3 of the oat mixture. Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking, and flatten to an even thickness
- Pour the chocolate peanut butter fudge over the oats and spread evenly
- Crumble the rest of the oat mixture on top, lightly pressing it into the fudge
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving
Notes
- To make this recipe nut free, you can use coconut flour in place of powdered peanut butter for the crust, and sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter for the filling
- For a sugar free and lower fat version, omit the honey in the crust/crumble, and replace the filling (peanut butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, and honey) with 6 servings of Single Serving Quick Nutella
