Reece’s Peanut Butter cups are one of my favorite chocolate candies and this recipe is a much healthier alternative! Super yummy and delicious and tastes just like the real thing!

Although staying away from chocolate can be hard, this recipe has got you covered to keep your favorite candy as healthy as possible while it still tastes the same. This recipe calls for almond or oat flour. Almond flour is gluten-free while oat flour on the other hand is very ethically and sustainably friendly. Did you know that oats reduces the need for herbicides?

Healthy Peanut Butter Bars Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond or oat flour

• 1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1 cup natural peanut butter

• 1 cup chocolate chips

How to Make “Healthy Peanut Butter Bars”:

1. Mix the flour, maple syrup, and peanut butter in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Add mixture into a 9×9 pan and evenly distribute it.
3. In a smaller bowl, microwave peanut butter, and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, then mix together.
4. Add the melted chocolate chip and peanut butter on top of the 9×9 pan.
5. Place the pan in the freezer for 1-2 hours

Notes:

• You may use either almond flour (gluten-free) or oat flour. If you don’t have oat flour, you can put oats into a food processor to get that flour consistency if you’d like.
• You could substitute milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips to make it a bit healthier.
