Granola bars are a popular food item at our house – it’s a quick breakfast as teenagers are running out the door, good to add to lunch- as a snack coming home from school, etc… I really have to get back to making them myself because I can make a bigger batch – I control what goes in them and they are definitely cheaper than buying them from a store.
Who has jumped on the PB2 bandwagon? If you aren’t familiar with it – it’s peanut butter, that has had most of the fat removed and reduced to a powder – you reconstitute it with water – or I add them to pancake batter, smoothies – add it to oatmeal – the possibilities are endless.
The best part is 2 tablespoons is only 1 Smart Point on Weight Watchers – so if you LOVE peanut butter as much as I do and want the flavor but not the points – this will be your best friend.
I got inspiration for this recipe from Delicious as It Cooks
I doubled the recipe to make 10 GENEROUS sized granola bars – teenager approved too!
