Peanut Butter And Chocolate Snack Bars

• 3 Tablespoons Softened Butter
• 1/3 cups Sugar
• 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
• 1 whole Egg
• 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1/3 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 cups Flour
• 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Milled Flax Seed
• 1 cup Whole Oats
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1. Note: I used 3 tablespoons of butter, which is not much at all. But if you want to cut it back even further, use 2 tablespoons of butter and a tablespoon of unsweetened plain applesauce. Also, I used 70% cocoa chocolate chips-the darker the better!
2. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed until creamy, 4-5 minutes. Add egg, vanilla and peanut butter. Beat until combined. Add cocoa powder and beat on low speed to prevent cocoa powder from flying in your face!
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, wheat flour, flax seed, oats, baking soda and salt. Mix together. Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until moistened. You may need to use your hands to get it all combined. Add chocolate chips and combine.
4. Pour mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until gooey and delicious. Serve immediately, or cut into bars and store in the pantry.
