Recreate Peanut butter bar recipe? Jan 7, 2013 13:03:05 GMT -5

I have a recipe that our family LOVED back during our Whole Grain Jane days. Was wondering if there was something I could do to make it a S approved dessert?

1 cup sugar free peanut butter
2 cups quick oats
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup slightly warmed coconut oil
1/2 cup flax seed, finely ground
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips.

Mix top 6 ingredients together and press into 9x13 pan lined with parchment paper. Melt chocolate chips and spread thinly over bars. Refrigerate and slice.

I thought it was oh so healthy back then!! Yikes!

Was wondering if some combo of sugar free peanut butter, ground flax seed, stevia and coconut oil would work for the base. And skinny chocolate for the top? Served in small pieces from the freezer?

Any ideas? My 12 yr old is has been asking for them and I sure would love to oblige in some acceptable form!

Thanks!

Those sound great! I wonder if you could use almond meal in place of the oats to form the base. I would think that you'd still need something to stick it all together, and the stevia won't do that like the honey does. Maybe use an egg and make sort of a muffin-in-a-mug type batter for the base (you might have to bake it a little) and then spread skinny chocolate on it.

Have you looked at the bar recipes in the book?

What is the role of the oats? Just to bulk it up or to make it more crust like?? Could you sub unsweetened shredded coconut for the oats? The honey would make it stick together but so does the peanut butter....

I think the best bet would be to make the pb cookies from the book, adding the flax instead of the cocoa powder, stevia instead of honey and just take out the oats entirely. Maybe add some extra flax OR pb flour for the oats, like a handful. Bake, cool and top with freshly mixed skinny chocolate and freeze. Or bake, cut, cook and dip in choc.

It might not be the same but it might be close. Make a small batch to test it out

msjongg: Just wondering... Are rice noodles on plan? Nov 15, 2016 15:37:21 GMT -5

queen: Probably a good idea to start a topic asking about it. Generally, I think they want you to use the whole grains rather than something made from brown rice flour, but maybe there's more to know about it. Nov 17, 2016 0:11:45 GMT -5

queen: Got a notice that the THM website is having a big cyber-Monday sale and are offering a couple new items. They have also introduced flat rate shipping. Time to stock up on that Gentle Sweet.

mamaj123: what supplements are recommended on plan? I believe they talk about it in the original book, but I don't have mine right now Dec 5, 2016 16:50:34 GMT -5

queen: Depends on what you are looking to do. Can you start a topic about it? Dec 8, 2016 14:15:13 GMT -5

marmee: Confused about how to ask a question... Mar 27, 2017 15:22:47 GMT -5

queen: Just ask? Apr 2, 2017 22:13:14 GMT -5

marmee: Sorry to be such an... Older woman but I'm not abl to figure out how to use the forum. I have been able to read a few posts. Apr 4, 2017 6:40:01 GMT -5

marmee: One question: if I have early morning coffee with coconut oil ( or if I choose cream) are they considered a snack, should I wait 3 hours before eating? If I eat an S meal soon there after am I ok? Would that be a problem if I eat an E meal soon after? Apr 4, 2017 6:41:55 GMT -5

queen: You can post here if you like. But you can start a post by entering a forum (any of the linked titles above this shouting box). Once you are in the forum, you should see a "Create Thread" link in the title bar. Click that to get a posting screen. Apr 5, 2017 16:30:19 GMT -5

queen: If you eat an S meal within an hour of your oil/cream coffee, it is all considered the same meal. Otherwise, you need to wait the 3 hours. Apr 5, 2017 16:31:29 GMT -5

queen: If you are in weight loss mode, you avoid them. Maybe throw in one or two a month if you aren't losing well. It can help to shake things up and get losses started again. Feb 17, 2020 11:06:32 GMT -5
