LOVE NOTE#124: Good Day Granola Chewies - PB & Chocolate Chips (A Fab 5 Recipe!)







Happy Friday Foodies!

I whipped up this granola bar recipe and it's so easy - a Fab-5 Easy ingredient concoction! I didn't add any additional sugar as the sweetness comes from the peanut butter & the PB/chocolate chips! All the ingredients are pretty basic - and I'm sure you will have these in your kitchen! I was just craving something sweet - and when it's a peanut butter & chocolate combo, well... whatever the mood, whatever the situation ... one bite will put a smile to your lips:)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup of crunchy peanut butter - honey roast variety
  • 1/4 cup of Best Life Buttery Spread (or any variety of light buttery spread)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of Toll House peanut butter & chocolate chips

Instructions

  • preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8x8 pan
  • in a mixing bowl, combine the melted buttery spread, peanut butter, and egg - stir until combined
  • mix in the oats until
  • fold in the chips
  • press the mixture into the pan and bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden
  • cool completely then cut into 12 bars - enjoy!
There you have it! So easy and just the perfect amount of sweetness in each bite to give you the energy to get through your day one bite at a time!
