So I know this will sound like gushing, and we have only ‘bumped into each other online’ a couple of times, but I’m a little in love with Mama Pea of Peas and Thank You<\/a>. If you read her blog with any regularity at all I have no doubt you are a little in love with her too. Last week, for example, ‘Tonight we all needed a little comic relief (or a horse tranquilizer)…<\/em>‘, I read that and thought, HOLY CRAP!! THAT’S MY HOUSE! Also? One of her blog tags is ‘pissing and moaning’. Love!!<\/p>\n

I know, I’m such a creeper but really I love her extra for these bars, she concocted a recipe for gluten-free vegan chocolate chip granola bars that Wee Ones #1 & #3 love. They’re called Zee Bars because she was lamenting in her post on these little babies about the food marketed specifically to kids and how it’s exactly the same as the food marketed to adults, except they’ve slapped a little chocolate on it and spelled kids with a z. Right?! Dammit, my kids<\/b> can spell! Anyhoo, I am still cooking and baking my way through her cookbook<\/a>\"\" (I made the Fabulous French Toast today for brunch actually….), and I’m still not going to post any recipes from her book. However, this recipe was posted on her website so it’s fair game. <\/p>\n

They’re way easy to make and even easier to eat! All you need is:<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup oats
\n1\/2 cup oat flour (just run 1\/2 cup of oats through your food processor)
\n1\/2 cup vanilla protein powder (or another 1\/2 cup oat flour)
\n1\/2 tsp salt
\n1 tbsp baking powder
\n1\/2 cup + 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
\n1\/2 cup + 2 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used almond)
\n1 tsp vanilla extract
\n1\/4 tsp cinnamon
\nstevia to taste (or be a cheater like me and use 1\/4 cup brown sugar) I have stevia, but no one likes it!<\/em>
\n1\/4 cup chocolate chips (I also cheat with this and use 1\/2 cup) <\/p>\n

If you throw on a little drizzle after the bars are cool you’ll also need:<\/p>\n

3 tbsp chocolate chips
\n1 tsp coconut oil<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
\nSo first, preheat your oven to 350F and spray your 8×8-ish pan. Theeeeeen, mix the oats, oat flour, protein powder, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and your brown sugar if you’re using it<\/b>.

\n\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
\nMix up the applesauce, vanilla and almond (or whatever) milk.<\/p>\n


<\/td>\n

\n
\nNow mix your wet into your dry.<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
\nFold in the chocolate chips.
<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
\nBake for 20-25 minutes.<\/p>\n


<\/td>\n

\n
\nMama Pea describes it as ‘pulling away from the pan’, when you know it’s done.<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
So so so good. I could knock back a tray of these in an evening – no problem!<\/p>\n
