Chocolate PB Oatmeal Bars (Vegan, Gluten Free, Sugar Free)

I’ve been trying to post this recipe all week and have so many people asking me for it, but I just haven’t had time. Life keeps popping up with a million things that take priority…..like sleep, ha! Well, here it is finally! Yay!

Speaking of Wonderwoman… what a great movie! Animation has come so far, it’s crazy.  I watched it with my 3yo and she is OBSESSSSSED with her.

The great thing about these bars is you can use nut or seed butter you want! We used peanut butter because it’s safe for us, but sunflower seed, almond, or cashew is totally cool too. Whatever jams your toast will work for this!
