These are so so good. I didn't have peanut butter chips or chocolate chips but did have some white chocolate chips. I added a cup of those and a big handful of walnuts and coconut. I baked as directed and then cut them in granola bar size and put them on a cookie sheet and baked them again so each one got a little brown, probably for another 15 minutes at 350. they are crunchy but still chewable. YUM!

in addition to my other comments, I should have mentioned that you can opt to replace an addition 1/3 cup oats with wheat germ

I made a variation of Peanut Butter Granola Bars, so that I could cut down on the sugar and use more than one type of grain. I also omitted both flavors of chips.

In place of the 2/3 cup of chips and 1/3 cup of oats, I used 1 cup of dry crushed, crispy cereal.

In place of 1/2 cup of oats, I threw in 1/2 cup of Harvest Grains Blend, a King Arthur product containing 8 different seeds and grains.

In case you've lost track; that leaves a total of 2 2/3 cups of oats to be used in the bars

I forgot to add that asking with freshly ground unsalted peanut butter, I used 1/2 c. raisins instead of the chips! Still delicious! Will definitely be making these again!

I used certified gluten-free rolled oats to make these for my husband, who has Celiac disease. He thinks they are delicious!
