Clean Eating: “Samoa” Bars

If you are like me.... you are ALWAYS on the hunt for clean, healthier versions of some of your favs. 

I mean.. is there ANY competition for Samoas? I think not!


You can send me a little thank you note later ;)

Clean Eating: “Samoa” Bars

Ingredients:
1/2 c Peanut Butter, creamy 
1/2 c Honey
1/4 c Coconut Oil
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
2 Tbsp. Ground Flaxseed
1/4 c Cocoa
1 1/2 c Rolled Oats
1/2 c Shredded Coconut, unsweetened

Directions:

In a medium sized pot, melt peanut butter, honey and coconut oil, stirring until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, flaxseed and cocoa until smooth. Stir in oats and coconut until well mixed. 

Line a glass dish with foil. (I used a 7x11 (2 quart) pyrex dish.) Pour mixture in and press gently. Place in the refrigerator until hardened, about 2 hours. Cut into bars or squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge. (If you double the recipe, it fits perfectly into a 9x13 pan.)

Options:

Below I sprinkled some large flaked coconut and a few chocolate chips in the foil lined pan and poured the mixture on top of it. When it was hardened, I flipped it over before cutting into bars. 

Thank you Stilettos&Diapers!
