Do you follow a grain free diet? Full disclosure, I don't! I can't imagine life without a good, homemade loaf of bread once in a while! But I do like to make healthy swaps wherever I can. Baked goods usually contain white, all-purpose flour, which has minimal, if any, nutritional benefits. Swapping out the flour with ground oats is a great way to get some added nutrition to a favorite snack! Oats contain protein, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like copper and zinc, making them a more nutrient dense option than your typical AP flour. The peanut butter adds a nice peanut flavor and some extra protein! The chocolate chips add chocolate, and that's all I need to say about that!
Enjoy!
