Healthier Peanut Butter Cookie Bars

So still trying to climb out of the Polar Vortex we seem to be stuck in, but kids went back to school today after 2 snow days and 1- 2 hour delay day so now things are beginning to get back t normal.  Im still trying all sorts of things for our party on sunday.  Yesterday I wanted to try out a bar so I decided to make a Peanut Butter cookie into a bar of sorts.  What I came pup with is so good, it just melts in your mouth!!!  It is LOWER in Carbs.  Not great but a HUGE difference between this recipe and regular Peanut Butter Cookie recipes.  I used all natural peanut butter and Splenda, along with a combination of low carb flours to cut the carb count.  I think I did pretty good and this will definitely be a recipe I will be making for Sunday as well!

Peanut Butter Cookie Bars

1 Stick Greek Yogurt Butter ( I found this in the regular grocery store next to the butter.  Its great!)

1/2 Cup Splenda

1/2 Cup Splenda Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Natural Peanut Butter

1 Egg

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

1/4 Cup Unbleached Flour (The Bad thing in the recipe)

1/2 Cup Coconut Flour

1/4 Cup Almond Flour

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Cup Quick cook Oatmeal (Good for Fiber content)

1 Cup Butterscotch Chips

Topping (Optional)

1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 Tablespoon Natural Peanut butter

1-2Tablespoons Cream

Cream butters and sugars together then add egg and vanilla.  Combine all flours in bowl with salt and baking soda mix together then add oatmeal.  Combine dry ingredients with the creamed mixture and mix on high til combined.  Pour into a greased 9x13 pan.  Wet your hands to press the dough into the pan evenly.  It is a thick cookie dough type consistency   Sprinkle chips on top of batter and bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. When edges are brown its done....mix topping if desired and spread on top of warm bars.  I only did that on half of the bars.  Kendall or others might want the added sweetness but then that takes away from all the good we did by making them healthier!  Dig in, but be warned you can't stop eating them!!

Enjoy!!
