    Are these supposed to be soft? I made them tonight and they are like a soft cookie bar (and maybe that's the way they are to be).
    I don't know if I like the taste though. I used Sun Crystal for the stevia and it leaves a super sweet taste in the mouth. Maybe next time I won't add sweetener.

    Yes they should be soft, and moist but not fall apart when you pick them up. I don't know what Sun Crystal is but yes you could try not adding sweetener and maybe just use a tiny bit of honey instead?

    Has anyone tried with chocolate PB2 yet? I just finished my third batch and I'm running out of regular one.

    *Raises hand* Me me me me!! I only use the chocolate pb2. Haven't tried regular pb2. It's a winner!

    I just made a batch of these and I have to say... pretty darn good. A little cakier than I was expecting... I had a crisper bar in mind. I made a few variations in a second batch trying to capture the crunch I wanted, but still got a chewy bar.. but the flavor is more of a compliment to the applesauce. I halved the applesauce, and almond milk. Subbed out the peanut butter for honey, and used the splenda brown sugar blend. I also made sure to add that cinnamon.

    Awesome. I'll try that next. I need to slow down though, I've been eating a batch every other day or something. Could be worse things though :laugh:

    I decreased the stevia to 6g and it's still perfect, just for the record.

    Thank you, I'll give them another try!

    Yes they are soft and moist, not sure how you would make them crunchy.. maybe you could try putting one in the toaster oven right before eating it? That's awesome you played around with the recipe until you found what works best for you! I'm going to try adding in almonds next, and maybe some pecans. Honey is also a great add in, sounds good!

    haha you and me both! I try to only eat one per day.. then hubs ends up eating at least 2. I'm lucky to have the 4th for breakfast the next day. I went out and bought another loaf pan today so I can start doubling up! Yes there are definitely much worse things you could be eating! I'm wondering if I can make a chocolate version of these with some unsweetened cocoa powder... :)))

    Oh definitely. I don't think a tbsp of cocoa powder would make a big difference in the batter.

    Hmm. Maybe I'll try with the chocolate pb2.. in a few days or something.

    The Cocoa is the winner! I took a few and tried to use the technique that is used for biscotti to make them crunchy, but it didn't work. I did 8 minutes at 325, but it was a no go.

    Woohoo. Excited to try that this week end.

    Ok so maybe the trick to making them crunchy is to take out some of the moisture.. didn't you say you cut out some of the milk and applesauce already? I'm thinking honey and rice crispies cereal maybe in place of those?? The honey would make everything kind of stick together and the rice crispies would give it more crunch right?

    Thanks so much for this recipe! These will definitely become a staple. So easy to make and virtually no mess. I made mine with chocolate peanut butter whey protein powder (GNC Amp) instead of the pb2, white chocolate chips instead of dark, and sprinkled all the chips over the top instead of stirring in. Cut mine into 4 large squares. Delicious! Reminds me almost of coffee cake - perfect for breakfast. Stats for mine - per large square - 182 calories, 25 carbs, 4 fat, 14 protein, 8 sugar. YUM!

    That might work! Next payday, I am going to get some ingredients and do some experimenting. When I come up with a winner, I will post it for all. I love being in the kitchen!
