Flourless Peanut Butter & Strawberry Chia Bars
These grainless, flourless, naturally sweetened peanut butter & strawberry chia bars are a healthy, decadent snack or dessert for all pb&j lovers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peanut butter (or sub for nut butter of choice)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Chia Jam
- 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed and drained (fresh will work too)
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- To make the chia jam, place the strawberries and honey into a blender or mini food processor and blend until strawberries are broken down into a thick liquid
- Remove the strawberry liquid and pour into a small bowl. Add the chia seeds and mix well. Let sit for at least 10 minutes
- Combine the peanut butter, eggs, and maple syrup. For best results, beat for one minute, until dough is slightly crumbly. You can also mix by hand if necessary
- Press the peanut butter dough in a 9×12″ jelly roll baking sheet pan like this one HERE, spreading evenly throughout
- Place into the oven for 10 minutes
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the chia jam, spreading quickly and evenly
- Place the pan back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes
- Remove and let cool before cutting into bars
- Keep in the refrigerator
Notes
Opt for a thicker peanut butter or nut butter of choice for this recipe. Thinner, runnier nut butters will not yield the best results.
