Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Bars ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #PB #oats #breakfast #chocolate #recipe


Oh dear foodie friends, I did it! After 4 months, I am within 1 lb. of my weight-loss goal. Some people might say I should wait to celebrate until I’m there, but (a couple pounds ago) one of my friends looked at me like it’s time to stop … I said I only want to lose a few more pounds and then I’ll go into maintenance mode. Really, I will …

So that got me thinking: what does maintenance mode look like? I think it involves some of the more indulgent things that I love and have been severely reducing like peanut butter and chocolate …

When I saw these peanut butter chocolate bars from Food Faith Fitnesss, I was more than intrigued, I was mesmerized. I felt deserving of a decedent (yet kinda sorta still healthy) breakfast. It’s a little like eating Reese’s for breakfast, but in a soft and ooey gooey good cookie-bar form.

THE perfect celebratory food, in my humble opinion.  This is an amazing achievement and well worthy of a peanut butter chocolate celebration

Those look so indulgent! I may just have to whip up a batch. I love sweet stuff for breakfast – not likely a good weight loss tactic, but what’s the point of living if you can’t enjoy it? I like the post with all the photos. Well done!

Thanks Jessica! They really are … I had to take them to work and share with my coworkers to keep from eating them all myself. Everyone who tasted them couldn’t believe there wasn’t any wheat flour in the recipe.

Yummy!!! Those look so good. Peanut butter and chocolate are both loves of mine. I could never give them up! I’ve been on a bit of a binge lately with combining the two. I can’t seem to get enough peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. These would be a great way to spice things up a bit!

Hi Gina, I am totally with you! How can you get enough peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? These are even easier, in bar form, and a bit healthier too. Thanks so much for your kind comment.
