I used to adore these treats as a child, but after undergoing bariatric surgery, I thought I'd never indulge in them again...until now! Thanks to a few modifications, using 1 cup of Splenda, JIF Simply Peanut Butter, and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, I was able to recreate my favorite snack. While I didn't completely eliminate all the fat, I successfully cut down on fat, calories, and sugar. This recipe is also a fantastic option for individuals managing diabetes.

These bars were delicious! I didn't encounter any problems with them being crumbly, unlike with other recipes where the texture was affected by over or undercooking the mixture before adding oats. I find it more convenient to pour the mixture into a square 9x9 or 11x7 dish lined with parchment or wax paper. It's quicker and less messy to cut them into squares rather than making drop cookies.

I tried following the recipe as instructed, but unfortunately, the cookies didn't stay together very well. I decided to salvage them by putting the mixture back in the bowl, adding an egg, and baking it in a pan. To give it a little extra flair, I sprinkled chocolate chips on top during the last minute of baking and then spread them out like icing.
