RunAmok Mama's Almond-Peanut-Chocolate Chip Bars!

3/31/2015

Looking for an easy and delicious "S" snack? This is a wonderful "pick-me-up" when served with a cup of coffee... but truthfully, is sweet enough, it can be considered a dessert all on its own!

INGREDIENTS:
Yield 5 - 8 servings( 2 - 3 "bars" per serving.)

1 C Adam's 100% Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 C Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour
3 Eggs, preferably farm-fresh
1/3 C Lily's Chocolate Chips (stevia sweetened)
1/4 C THM Super Sweet Blend
1 TBS + 1 tsp Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Kirkland Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp THM Himalayan Mineral Salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Add all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix until well-incorporated. Batter will be on the thick side, and "sticky".
3. Drop by slightly heaping Tablespoons into a butter or coconut oil-greased mini-muffin pan. *Our pan has 12 spaces, and this recipe makes 16 "bars".
4. Cook at 350°F for 12 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.

Can serve warm... but we like them stored in the fridge... if they last that long!

*Optional: Spread into an 8X8 baking dish and cook at 350°F for 30 - 35 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.

Hi Leanne,

Here is my Pinterest Page: https://www.pinterest.com/runamokfarm/ The "Everything Trim Healthy Mama" board will be especially helpful! :)

I tried to print your recipe, but the text is all over the page and I am unable to fix it enough to read it. Can you correct this or add a print button

Hi Sue,

I am so sorry - I am currently looking for a really GREAT print feature to add to the site, but haven't been overly thrilled with what I have found.

For the time being, most are simply doing a cut/paste into a Word document, or just pinning to Pinterest.

I'm new to trim healthy mama. How does trivia compare with stevia, as far as amounts go, in recipes? Thx!

Hi Carrie!

WELCOME TO THM!

Truvia is a blend of stevia (well, the sweet compound found in the stevia plant) and erythritol, which is a granulated sugar alcohol. It is quite sweet, useful in baking and making treats and sweet drinks. (This is sweeter than regular sugar, so you would use less in recipes. Approximately 1/2 of what you would add for sugar.)

A "pure stevia extract" will be VERY different, as the extract is an exceptionally sweet fine powder. This *can* be used in baking, but one would use only the tiniest amount. (If a drink calls for 1 teaspoon of sugar, you would use 1/32 of a teaspoon of stevia extract!) This makes baking ratios a bit "trial and error", as many recipes need that "bulk" which comes from the granulated products...

The Pyure brand stevia is a VERY sweet blend *NOT the variety with maltodextrin! (I purchase from Walmart) This would be very close to the Trim Healthy Mama Sweet Blend in taste and sweetness. MUCH sweeter than Truvia, so if you try this one, use way less and then keep adding until you are happy.

Hope this helps!

What is the nutrition information on these?

Hi Beverly,

Truthfully, I couldn't tell ya! <gasp!>

Before I started Trim Healthy Mama, I spent my entire adult life COUNTING and CALCULATING fats, carbs, calories... even how many calories I was burning during any (every!) given activity. To no avail, I might add...

I was overweight/obese for 25+ years.

Then, Trim Healthy Mama. A life-saver, to say the very least!

In taking time to read the book and learn the food categories, I no longer have to count fats, carbs or calories! Because I know the ingredients in these treats, I know they are an "S", so these contain natural, healthy fats... and are low-carb.

As a Trim Healthy Mama, these delicious goodies are my "diet" food... I have lost over 53# without counting!!

If you really need to know numbers, you can always add the ingredients into Sparkpeople's recipe calculator.

quick question, did you mean to put 1/4 cup pure stevia? or is it sweet blend? thanks!

Hi Rose!

I am so sorry for the confusion! The brand I used is called, "Pyure" - It is an organic stevia/erythritol blend, which I purchase from Walmart. It is similar to THM Sweet Blend, in that it is very sweet, and tastes good...

Though, the Sweet Blend is my favorite, the convenience of shopping in town is nice for the Pyure brand.

I was interested in the the pan. It looks like a mini loaf pan, not muffin. Approximately how long is each little pan? Where can you buy these? Thanks
