Who doesn't love granola bars? I always used to like them better than candy bars, but they literally are like candy bars when it comes to one's blood sugar.
GRANOLA BAR
SQUARES
These remind me so much of granola
bars. I think you will agree. No need for oats in these bars. Rather
addictive! Yet, I was able to control myself as one or two squares is very satisfying.
11/2
cups Planters® mixed
nuts (375 mL)
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (125 mL)
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter* (125 mL)
sugar
1/3 cup powdered erythritol (75 mL)
1 tbsp imitation honey** (15
mL)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
Preheat
the oven to 350°F (180°C).
In
food processor, process nuts until coarsely chopped. Set aside in a bowl. Add chocolate chips to food processor and
process briefly until coarsely chopped.
Add to bowl with chopped mixed nuts.
In
food processor, process egg, peanut butter, liquid sweetener, erythritol, imitation
honey and vanilla extract. Stir in nuts
and chocolate chips. Turn out into an
8-inch (20 cm) square glass baking dish.
Bake 10 minutes. Score into 4 x 5
bars and bake another 5 minutes or until turning golden brown.
Helpful
Hints: *I used Skippy® natural
creamy peanut butter, and **Honey Tree® imitation honey (uses maltitol) from Walmart. Netrition
online has one called Nature’s Hollow® which uses xylitol as a sweetener.
