What is also important to me is answering the questions I get from my challengers. Lately I have been hearing a lot of questions regarding healthy snacks and snacks that will satisfy a sweet craving. My #1 answer to this question is SHAKEOLOGY because it can be a snack and it totally satisfies my sweet cravings (plus I have less and less sweet cravings when I do drink Shakeology). But if you need something else then here you go. This snack is also great to wrap up individually and use for on the go! Delicious, convenient, and clean - now that's my kind of snack!!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
Ingredients...
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 egg
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I bet coconut oil would be amazing in these!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup demerara, turbinado, or sucanant sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions...
1. Preheat oven to 350 and lightly spray a 9x13 pan
2. Mix the peanut butter, honey, egg, oil, and vanilla extract until well blended
3. In a separate bowl combine oats, sugar, salt, and chocolate chips. Add this to the peanut butter mixture and mix until combined.
4. Press mixture into the 9x13 pan
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Let the bars cool completely before cutting.
Makes ~15 bars
Last but not least - ENJOY!!
