I do not have an oven so there aren't a lot of things I can make. I want to make these no bake oat bars and am looking for suggestions on how to make them a little bit healthier and reduce the amount of calories in them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I worked these out to 120 calories a serving (recipe makes 16).
.

1/3 cup butter

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup peanut butter

    ive found swapping any fat asked for to apple sauce seems to work (just cook diced apple in a couple tbsps water for 15-20 mins then mash/puree
