Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Grain  Granola/Cereal  High Fiber  High Protein  Low Carbohydrates  Low Saturated Fat  Misc. One Dish 

• Cooking Time: 20 minutes
• Servings: 24
• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• 2 C rolled oats
• 1/2 C wheat germ
• 1/4 C flax seed
• 1/3 C brown sugar
• 1 C whole wheat or all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 C honey
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2/3 C natural peanut butter (we prefer chunky!)
• milk or water in case dough is too dry
• 1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease a 9x13 pan.

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, wheat germ, flax seed, flour, brown sugar and salt.

Add the honey, egg, and peanut butter.

Mix until well-blended.

If dough is too dry, add a little milk or water a tablespoon at a time. The dryness depends on the moistness of your natural peanut butter.

Pat dough evenly into pan.

Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until edges start to turn golden.

Let the bars cool for 5-10 minutes and then cut while still warm.

Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

My husband and I love peanut butter! We also eat a lot of granola bars because they are the perfect convenience food. I decided to create a healthy, protein-packed recipe that would include our favorite ingredient and would be quick to make (since I make a lot of them!).
