Thread: Peanut Butter Chocolate-Chip Bars

I have been a fan of peanut butter and chocolate since I was a kid. I love how both tastes good together. I have found a great cookie recipe that is perfect for Halloween and is diet friendly at the same time. This is also diabetes-friendly because omega-3-enriched peanut butter and whole wheat flour are the secret ingredients that keep this treat healthy and your taste buds will never know the difference! This amazing snack is courtesy of the Diabetes DTOUR Diet.


Ingredients

¾ c white whole wheat flour (such as King Arthur) or whole wheat pastry flour
¾ tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 c omega-3-enriched peanut butter
1/3 c Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 omega-3-enriched egg, beaten
½ c fat-free milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ c bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8" x 8" baking dish with cooking spray.

2. On a large sheet of waxed paper, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a fork.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir vigorously until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Add the flour mixture, stirring until well combined. Stir in the chips.

4. Dollop the dough into the baking dish and pat the top to smooth. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until slightly puffy and very lightly browned at the edges. Remove and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Store at room temperature, tightly covered with foil.

I hope you all enjoy this!

Who doesn't love peanut butter chocolate chips bars?! I cannot believe this is only 137 calories. I normally have 1 bar of brownie each day (I divide it to 3) as dessert just so I have something sweet to eat after meal. I don't feel quite satisfied with what I am eating if I don't have dessert so this is simply amazing.

Peanut butter and chocolates? wow! Reminds me to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. A very sinful snack LOL

That's what I had in mind as well. Peanut butter and chocolates are one of the foods I can't say no to. That's why I don't buy them so I won't be tempted.
