HEALTHIER OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAKFAST BARS

These Healthier Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars are sweetened without refined sugar. Instead, they are sweetened with maple syrup!

Maple syrup is a great way to naturally add sweetness without using refined sugar. We go through so much of it in my house! My toddler requests pancakes pretty much every morning, plus I use the syrup to sweeten muffins and oatmeal.
