Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, large egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Add the baking soda and salt to the peanut butter mixture, and stir until evenly combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and sugar-free chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temperature before lifting them out by the parchment paper overhang.
Once cool, cut into 16 bars and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
