Another mostly healthy granola bar… yeah, I know. Boring. But, these were really, really good. And, I don’t want to forget the recipe. It’s super-simple and quick. They make a great small meal or a hearty snack.
Peanut Butter Granola Bars
makes 1 8×8 square dish
2 cups quick cooking oats, pulsed in a food processor for three seconds
1/3 cup AP flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter, chunky (I prefer honey-roasted)
1 jumbo egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, finely ground
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. The mixture will be dry and crumbly. Butter an 8×8 baking dish. Add the crumbly dough and spread it evenly around the baking dish. Press it firmly into the baking dish to create an even layer of dough.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely. Then, cut into small squares.
To turn this into a sweet treat: Add 1 cup white chocolate chips.
