Peanut Butter Bars: and how I adapted the recipe

(click on image to enlarge)

The original recipe (notice the naughty brown sugar, white sugar, and white flour)

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp soda
½ tsp salt
2 cups flour
2 cups oats

With my modifications. Sugars are replaced, flour is replaced. I also opted to use all-natural chunky peanut butter in mine. These are LOVED by all my family and no one is missing the processed ingredients at all:

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sucanat
1/2 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp soda
½ tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups oats

Preheat oven to 325. Beat the first 6 ingredients together. Stir remaining ingredients together and add to the rest. Drop blogs of dough all over a greased lipped cookie sheet and press out using greased hands or rubber spatula. Bake for 15 minutes.

The original recipe also suggested frosting these with chocolate frosting. Instead, I made up the chocolate sauce below. I found this concoction here:

1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla

I put the ingredients in a squeeze bottle, microwaved them, and shook the bottle. It was a perfect topping and so easy to drizzle on the top.
