Organic Peanut Butter Dream Bars


Ingredients

2 cups organic oatmeal – we love to use old fashioned rolled oats

1/4 cup organic golden flaxseed (OPTIONAL – added for fiber and nutrition)

1 1/2 cups organic whole wheat flour (freshly milled if possible)

1/4 cup natural sugar (sucanat-sugar cane natural or organic sugar)

1 tsp. aluminum free baking soda

1 tsp aluminum free baking powder

3/4 tsp. sea salt

1 cup salt free butter, melted

1 can organic sweetened condensed milk or organic sweetened condensed coconut milk

1/3 cup organic natural peanut butter (crunchy or smooth and no sugar added)

1 cup dark chocolate chips, use 60% or more dark chocolate for the best flavor & nutrition

Instructions

  1. Combine quickly and do not over mix. Your only trouble will be if the butter is so hot that it melts the chocolate chips. If the butter is really hot – just mix everything else first and at the very last add in the melted, but cooled butter.
  2. Pour into a 10 * 15 inch cake pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 17-20 minutes.
  3. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes – Less baking seems to be better so they are not dry and crumbly.  

Double batch!
