Total time: 30 minutes
Yields: 12 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 9

Ingredients:

1/4 cup applesauce, (or yogurt such as coconutmilk yogurt)
1 cup peanut butter OR allergy-friendly alternative - nut-free recipe here
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp flour – you can use spelt, (white, sorghum, oat, almond, even or buckwheat (50g))
2/3 cup granulated sugar of choice or xylitol
1/4 cup chocolate chips, (optional)
up to 2 tbsp milk of choice, (only if needed)

How to cook:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch pan, or line with parchment. Gently heat nut butter if not already stir-able, then stir in the applesauce and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, stir baking soda, salt, flour, sugar, and chocolate chips. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and keep stirring—it will seem very dry at first, so you’ll need to break up the nut butter and stop occasionally to scrape it off your spoon. If needed, slowly add up to 2 tbsp milk of choice as you stir. Don’t add more milk; it will eventually get gooey like cookie dough. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth down evenly. (I press a second sheet of parchment on top to smooth, then remove this sheet.) Press some chocolate chips into the top if desired. Bake 10 minutes. When you take the peanut butter bars out, the top will look set but they will still be very undercooked underneath. This is okay! Leave them to cool for at least 20 minutes, during which time they will firm up. (They also firm up even more overnight.)View Nutrition Facts

How to cook:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9X13-inch metal baking pan with foil (the foil part is optional but helps the bars come out in one big slab after cooling and provides easy clean-up). Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the peanut butter, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract.
Gently stir in the flour, baking soda and salt until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until no dry streaks remain and the chips are evenly combined.
Press the dough evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set in the middle and lightly browned on the edges. Don’t overbake! We're going for soft and delicious here. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bars

This peanut butter chocolate chip bar recipe makes irresistible thick and chewy brownies with the flavor of a peanut butter cup! Easy to make treats are great additions to lunch boxes and care packages.
Provided by: Wendy Sondov
Total time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Yields: 24 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 9

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar (packed)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups jumbo milk chocolate chips (I use Whole Foods fairly traded 365 brand)

Nutrition:

How to cook:

Heat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a 9” x 13” baking dish and line with parchment paper with a 2” overhang on the long sides of the pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until the color lightens, about 3 minutes.
Gradually stir in the flour mixture just until a smooth,thick dough forms.
Fold ¾ cup of chocolate chips into the dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan using fingertips.
Scatter the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top and gently press into the dough.
For a chewy bar, bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few to no crumbs and the top is golden brown. Bake a few minutes less for a more fudgy bar.
Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Run a knife along the edges touching the pan to loosen. Use the parchment overhangs to lift the rectangle out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cut into bars.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
