What ingredients do I need to make these Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars?

• Old fashioned rolled oats-uncooked. Be sure to NOT use quick cooking or instant-otherwise the texture of the bars will be too soggy! You can use Quaker Gluten-Free rolled oats as gluten free option. 
• All purpose flour – you can substitute the flour for Kodiak pancake buttermilk mix, if you use the Kodiak Pancake Mix you will omit the baking powder, soda, and salt. You can also substitute the all purpose flour for almond, coconut or gluten-free flour. The point value may vary depending on the brand you use. 
• Protein Powder– optional. I love adding protein powder for extra protein and flavor! I like to use Devotion Nutrition Protein Powder– the Angel Food Cake or Java Mocha Chip. You can click HERE to read more about this protein powder. The overall point values are the same regardless if you use this protein powder or not. 
• Cinnamon-for flavor. 
• Baking powder-leavening agent- to help the bars rise.
• Baking soda- leavening agent- to help the bars rise. 
• Salt-for taste. 
• Unsweetened applesauce- used as a substitute for oil.
• Eggs- beaten
• Honey- for added sweetness and used as a binding agent.
• Vanilla extract- for flavor
• No sugar added chocolate chips– I use ChocZero milk chocolate chips. I LOVE  ChocZero no sugar added milk chocolate chips or Lily’s milk chocolate no sugar added chocolate chips.  These two brands are my absolute favorite and have NO bitter aftertaste. ChocZero products are sweetened with a special monk-fruit formula that adds just enough sweetness without the sugar. If you prefer dark chocolate you can substitute the milk chocolate for Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips, Stevia Sweetened, with no added sugar.  You can find those HERE on Amazon.  
• Peanut butter –I like to use Better’n Peanut Butter which is 3 smartpoints for 2 Tbsp or American Dream Nut Butters “Butter My Cup” which is-1 Tbsp-2 smartpoints or 2 Tbsp-5 smartpoints. If you wanted you could use powdered peanut butter as a substitute for the peanut butter by mixing 6 Tablespoons with 4 Tablespoons hot water.

What low point peanut or nut butter do you recommend?

Well, my two favorite whipped peanut butters Jif Whips and Peter Pan 1/3 less fat whipped have both been discontinued-but I have since found a few other brands that I LOVE!

This Better’n Peanut Butter is only 100 calories, 3 smartpoints for 2 Tablespoons, 4 grams of protein, and is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Palm Oil Free, and Kosher.

You can find it online on Amazon HERE.

The other brand I LOVE and RECOMMEND is American Dream Nut Butters. These nut butters are low in points and are amazing!!

 I have loved the every flavor I’ve tried-which is most of them!
