Copycat Peanut Butter Chocolate Clif Bars

Copycat recipes seem to do well, so here I am with another. My Clif bar copycat version has nearly identical calories, protein, fat, carbs, and fiber to the originals. However, I'm using more minimally processed ingredients, while opting for honey as my sweetener instead of refined sugar. These bars contain complex carbs and naturally occurring sugars to fuel your muscles, making them a great snack on the go for a hike, or before/during/after a hard workout. That in addition to their protein, fat, and fiber, content helps in recovery, satiety, and digestion

Step 1

Line a 9" square baking pan with parchment paper. For a half batch, use a 9x5" bread pan

Step 2

Mix together the wet ingredients (honey, nut butter, and vanilla) in a large bowl with a silicone spatula until fully combined

Step 3

Add in the dry ingredients, and mix with a silicone spatula

Step 4

Thin out with water as needed to get everything just fully combined together. You should have to fold with the spatula to mix. It should look slightly too dry to be able to stick to all the oats, but should feel slightly sticky to the touch

Step 5

Lightly wet your hands (or use kitchen gloves) and press the dough into all edges of the pan, making sure to pack it down to even thickness

Step 6

Optionally top with about 2 tsp (10 g) of mini chocolate chips, raisins, chopped nuts, or flaky salt. Here, I'm going with unsweetened coconut flakes

Step 7

Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars. Wrap each bar in parchment paper, and store in an airtight bag in the fridge or freezer
