Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars

Mornings can be hectic around here. Homemade breakfast bars can be a great way to grab a quick bite to eat when you don't have time to sit down for breakfast. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars are easy to make and you can toss one in your bag when your heading out the door.

Homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars are so easy to make and are perfect for busy mornings when you don't have time to sit down to breakfast via flouronmyface.com

This breakfast bar recipe comes from one of my old vintage cookbooks. The original recipe didn't have the chocolate chips and I had to adjust the amount of some of the ingredients.

I like to try to stay true to the vintage recipes that I make but sometimes the amounts of ingredients don't seem to work. I'm not sure why that is but it happens more often then not when I share a recipe for the Vintage Recipe Project.

This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars recipe makes 10 breakfast bars. To make them easy to take on the road I wrapped them in wax paper. If you don't plan on taking them with you on a busy weekday morning you can just store them in an air tight container separating the layers with a piece of wax or parchment paper.
