Monkey Bars

Annalise had a sleep over last night with her cousin.  She was so exited! However, my little niece is a early riser, 5:30am, and my daughter is not.  So, while we waited for Annalise to wake up, we decided to make a snack.  I was going to make granola bars but quickly found that I didn't have all the ingredients that I needed. So, seems how I had a couple of monkeys in my house, we came up with Monkey Bars! Enjoy!

Monkey Bars

1/2 c butter, soften
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 c peanut butter
1/2 c honey
1/2 canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 egg whites
1/2 sugar
1/2 wheat germ
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In an electric mixer, cream butter.  On medium setting add bananas, peanut butter, honey, canola oil, vanilla, sugar and eggs.  Beat to well blended.  In a separate bowl mix wheat germ, flour and baking soda.  Gradually add to the wet mixture and beat until well blended to lowest setting.  In a greased, 9x13 pan spread dough evenly.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bottom is golden brown.
