Can we all just agree that peanut butter makes everything better! I was in the mood to make a dessert bar and definitely wanted peanut butter involved haha.. the end result was these amazing peanut butter crumble oatmeal bars and I just about melted when I bit into one.. The crumble topping gives off a nice sweetness and I highly recommend drizzling a little melted peanut butter on top when you are ready to eat one.. Recipe makes 12 bars at 5SP each on both blue & green and 4SP on purple.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup oats *I used quick oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp light butter softened

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9 inch square dish with some cooking spray.
  • In a bowl using an electric mixer mix together the apple sauce and 1/4 cup of brown sugar, add in the egg and mix well, then add in the peanut butter and vanilla and mix till well blended.
  • Stir in the flour, oats, baking powder and soda.
  • Pour batter into the baking dish and spread out evenly.
  • In a small bowl mix together the crumble ingredinets, flour, brown sugar, peanut butter and butter. I find using a few knives and cutting it (like you would cold butter into flour) works well to form the crumble texture you want.
  • Sprinkle on top of the batter then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Let cool then cut into 12 equal bars.
  • *Optional to melt and drizzle a little peanut butter on top, I highly recommend this and you can do it over the whole thing or just per bar when you are ready to eat one.
  • These bars store well in a sealed container and after a day or two I put them in the fridge.
  • *Note- You could probably substitute with PB2 in wet form although I have not tried so I can't give an honest answer to if they will turn out the same.

      Sure, I just don’t know the point difference so you’d need to maybe build it in the App 🙂

    Hi! I’m pretty new to Weight Watchers and this is one of the first recipes I found! It looks so delicious!!

    Did you use normal brown sugar or the Splenda brown sugar mix?

      Hi Autumn, welcome to WW 🙂 I used regular but you could substitute for the splenda and adjust the points accordingly, I hope you enjoy the bars

    Curious, could i add some chopped up apples to this? I feel like it would be a lot better with some kind of fruit. Thoughts?

  3. Do you think I could make these as muffins instead? I always find it so much easier to portion out that way.

      Hi Jenn, I think they should turn out ok as muffins 🙂

  4. I made these last night and they are so yummy! Thanks again for a great recipe! By the way using Splenda brown sugar and regular brown sugar really is no difference. Really makes me angry LOL.

    Could protein powder be substituted for the flour in the crumble?

      HI Megan, hmmm not too sure, all I can say is give it a try and see, I think it will be ok just not sure if the crumble will be the same texture
