Homemade Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Blondies are loaded with wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, oatmeal, and bananas. This is a hearty, on-the-go breakfast bar recipe.
Move over boring breakfast, there’s a new, tasty breakfast bar in town!
I like a simple breakfast and one that’s already prepared, a grab and go if you will, is the best. I made these Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Cups and Blueberry Mango Overnight Oats Parfaits which will both make your morning routine a little easier. Of course, straight up Overnight Oats are always a favorite for me. If you haven’t tried them yet, give them a try!
Blondies are brownies without cocoa. Technically, Homemade Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Blondies are blondies, but they’re not really a sweet dessert blondie that you normally think of. They are lightly sweetened with brown sugar. I think you could substitute honey and make them a little healthier, but I haven’t tested it.
The bananas make these bars soft and moist and the oatmeal adds texture and makes them nice and chewy.
Homemade Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Blondies Tips
- This makes a great recipe for kids to help you with in the kitchen.
- Add 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds to the batter.
- Perfect bananas for baking don’t look so perfect. Allow the bananas to get very ripe, very speckled or even almost black. The darker the skin of a banana, the sweeter the fruit will be. The sweeter the fruit, the better your dessert or blondies will be!
- Also, try adding dried raisins, blueberries or cranberries to your mixture.

Notes
Nutrition
So I made these bars with chunkie peanut butter
1 cup old fashion oats and 1 cup of sour dough discard
I had my oats sit in the sour dough discard for 15 mins to soften the oats
And used maple syrup. In addition to the other ingredients in the recipe
Spread them out in a 9×13 pan. I could have used a larger pan to make batter a little thinner
They were delicious
Loved them. Thanks for sharing.
What if you need to leave banana out for allergy reasons, what would you suggest? Applesauce?
Yes, applesauce will work.
These were a big hit with my grandchildren (I had to make a second batch a few days later!) but I wished they were less cake-like and more chewy or granola bar-like. Any suggestions?
Try 1 cup oats and 1/4 c flour and cook just a few minutes longer.
Can you substitute the wheat germ for anything?
You can omit and add 2 more tablespoons of oats.
I just made them with ground flaxseeds instead of wheat germ, gluten free flour, and almond butter. Mmmmm.
Could you add collagen or protein powder to the recipe for some added protein? If so, how much?
Yes, nonflavored, vanilla, or peanut butter flavored. I would only add 1 to 2 tablespoons
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long in the freezer?
2 months, make sure they’re wrapped good.
This looks so good! It would be fun to make with kids too!
Could I substitute quick oats since that’s what I have on hand?
Yes, they won’t have as much texture, but will still be good.
