Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled Oats
- ½ cups Wheat Germ
- ¼ cups Flax Seed
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Or All-purpose Flour
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- ¾ teaspoons Salt
- ½ cups Honey
- 1 Egg, Beaten
- ⅔ cups Natural Peanut Butter, Creamy Or Chunky
- ½ cups Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (optional)
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 9×13 baking pan
2. Mix together the oats, wheat germ, flax seed, flour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
3. Add in the honey, egg, and peanut butter. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
4. If the batter is still very dry and it is hard to incorporate all of the ingredients together, add milk or water, a tablespoon at a time until ingredients are completely mixed together. (The dryness of the batter has a lot to do with the moisture content of the peanut butter you are using.)
5. Stir in chocolate chips (optional).
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden brown.
7. Let cool 5-10 minutes and then cut into bars.
8. Let bars cool completely and store in an airtight container.
