Because everyone should try these!
Day#1.
In the midst of my planning for this new journey, I found LOTS of good recipes, so I'll be sharing them as I try them! I knew I would need something good for a snack at work or at home, because who doesn't love chocolate & peanut butter? I figured these would be perfect to try!
I made a batch today & boy are they good!
Here's the recipe in case you want to give them a try!
Peanut Butter Granola Mini Bars-makes about 3 dozen
1/2 c. reduced fat creamy peanut butter
1/3 c. honey
1 egg
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/ c. peanut butter chips
1/3 c. miniature semi sweet chocolate chips
In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, honey, egg, oil, & vanilla until blended. Combine the oats, brown sugar & salt; add to the peanut butter mixture (I just did all these steps in the same bowl), mix well. Stir in chips (batter will be sticky).
Transfer to a 9x13 greased pan. Bake @ 350* for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars (I cut mine into "perfect" squares. :))
