Weight Watchers Chocolate Chip Bars

Protein pancake mix, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, monk-fruit natural sweetener, vanilla essence, and no sugar added chocolate chips make these Skinny Chocolate Chip Bars. These are quick and healthy desserts or even brunch options.

What are the ingredients for these Skinny Chocolate Chip Bars?

• Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Power Cakes, Flapjack, and Waffle Baking Mix, Buttermilk: You can replace the Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Power Cakes with any high protein buttermilk pancake mix, such as Krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix, Buttermilk – 100 per cent Whole Grain Flour, or Simple Mills Almond Flour.

• Pancake Mix & Waffle Mix, Gluten-Free if you want a gluten-free or lower carb option.
• I use Lakanto Monkfruit Golden Sweetener as a zero-point brown sugar alternative.

• eggs

• powdered sugar

• Soda (baking)

• Extract of vanilla

• Unsweetened applesauce is used as a vegetable oil alternative.
• You can replace the unsweetened applesauce with pumpkin puree or nonfat plain Greek yoghurt if you like.

• Chocozero no sugar added milk chocolate chips or Lakanto no sugar added chocolate chips are two of my favourite brands.
• These are pretty tasty and do not have a bitter aftertaste! If you prefer dark chocolate, Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips, Stevia Sweetened, with No Added Sugar, can be used in place of the milk chocolate.

Note: that no added sugar chocolate chips would have the same overall point value for the bars.

Is there anything else I could use instead of the Kodiak Cakes Pancake Mix?

You can substitute a few other ingredients for the Kodiak Pancake Mix, such as:

• Krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix, Buttermilk – 100 per cent Whole Grain Flour.
• King Arthur Gluten-Free Pancake Mix as a gluten-free option.

What’s the best way to create these Skinny Chocolate Chip Bars?

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Using nonstick cooking spray, coat a 913′′ baking dish.

2. Combine Kodiak Cakes Protein Power Baking Mix, eggs, brown sugar sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and unsweetened applesauce in a large mixing dish.

3. Mix until everything is well blended.

4. 1/4 cup chocolate chunks, folded in

5. Don’t worry if the batter is a little sticky when you press it into the prepared pan.

6. On top, scatter and crush the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

7. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
You don’t want to overcook these since they’ll be dry!

8. Allow it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 20 pieces.

What is the best way to keep these Skinny Chocolate Chip Bars?

The leftovers can be kept for up to two days at room temperature. They will get somewhat tricky after two days. To keep them fresh, cover them in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Before putting them away, let them cool to room temperature and keep them in a container or ziplock bag.

These cookie bars will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. To protect the bars from sticking together, layer them between parchment paper.
