Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Squares

I have problems with not eating breakfast. It's not that I don't want to, because I am certainly hungry in the morning, but I just never seem to have food available that I really want to eat. My husband eats cereal every single morning. I get really bored with cereal, and quickly. I've had these bars pinned for awhile because I thought they would be good for when my baby is a toddler. Turns out I like them too. They are not overly sweet and have some healthy ingredients, like oats, bananas and peanut butter. It's a great combination. I think I found my next go-to breakfast meal.
