Chewy Bars

My granola bar stash needed a major restocking. I had 30 minutes to spare so I decided to whip up my homemade chewy bars. These freeze well and are so easy to make. My favorite ingredients to use: Kroger natural creamy peanut butter, Flying Mouse Farms Grade B Maple Syrup, Lindt 85% chocolate, and GF oats. 

-1 cup natural creamy peanut butter

- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

-1/3 cup maple syrup

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-1 tsp salt

- 2 1/2 Cups rolled oats

-1/3 cup ground flaxseed

-2 Tbs Chia seeds

-1/2 cup raisins

-1/2 bar dark chocolate (I used 85%) chopped

Mix all ingredients together and press into a sprayed 9x13 pan. You can use whatever size pan you prefer, it will just determine the thickness. Cut and wrap in parchment and freeze each slice for individual servings!
