Peanut butter chocolate-chip bar


Peanut butter chocolate-chip bar - This is a winner!  Thanks Holly!

A diet with chocolate chip cookies? You bet.
Omega-3-enriched peanut butter and whole wheat
flour are the secret ingredients that keep this treat
healthy -- but your taste buds will never know the
difference!

Serves: 16; Serving = 1 bar
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 25 min
Total: 40 min


Ingredients:

3/4 c white whole wheat flour (such as King Arthur)
or whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 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
1/2 c fat-free milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c bittersweet chocolate chips


Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 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.

pat the top to smooth. Bake for about 15 minutes,
