These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars include no refined sugar. Instead, maple syrup is used to sweeten them!
Unless you buy sugar-free chocolate chips, these bars do include a little amount of sugar from the chocolate chips. I believe it is worthwhile for that small amount of sweetness! You might also try replacing the chocolate chips with something naturally sweet, such as dried fruit.
How to store Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars
To store, first allow the bars to cool fully. Add to an airtight sealable glass jar or silicon bag. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
