Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Trail Bars
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter natural-style
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts coarsely, or almonds, 2 ounces/60 grams
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or bittersweet
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F (180u0b0C). Coat a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33-centimeter) baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the peanut butter, sugar, and honey in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until blended. Blend egg and egg whites with a fork in a small bowl. Add to the peanut butter mixture, along with oil and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add reserved flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula. Mix in oats, dried cranberries (or raisins), walnuts (or almonds), and chocolate chips. Scrape batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a piece of plastic wrap to spread batter into an even layer.
- Bake the bars until lightly browned and firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack before cutting into 24 bars.
