Soft, gooey peanut butter cookie bars—naturally sweetened!
Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF and grease a 9 by 13 baking dish.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and peanut butter together until fluffy. Add coconut sugar and date sugar and mix until combined. Add the molasses, eggs and vanilla. Mix until incorporated on low speed. Keeping the mixer on low speed, add the flour, baking power, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips slowly. Mix until everything is combined. With a spatula, pour the batter in your prepared dish.
Bake in the center of your oven for 26-28 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting into them.

Bless your heart for trying to make things “natural”. But honestly, who on earth would have the ingredients in your recipe … anywhere?! Looks yummy, though.

It’s true a lot of our ingredients aren’t as accessible as white sugar, but everything can be found very easily. Natural foods stores, ethnic stores and the internet all carry these. We share where we like to buy these sweeteners in our natural sweetener guide. Hope a little research won’t stop you from trying some of them out because they are definitely worth it.

Exactly where does one find coconut sugar, date sugar, and pink salt? You obviously don’t live in a small town like I do. Ordering ingredients like these online would probably make them a little expensive for a bar cookie. I’ll bet Pioneer Woman wouldn’t be able to get these ingredients either. But they do look incredibly delicious.

We have actually found great deals online. Even if you live in a small town, you can still have sweeteners shipped to you. And if you have a traders joe’s, a whole foods or anything equivalent, you will be able to find many of these. We share our favorite places to get them on our site (many of which are from amazon.com). We have also found amazing deals by getting them this way. They might be a little more work to find than white sugar, but it is not impossible. And the changes that are felt physically and emotionally from eating these over the chemical white stuff makes the extra effort so worth it!

Wow~ Seems like ALOT of sugar~ I’ve never used these sweeteners before. Are they less sweet than white cane sugar?~
Natural Sweet Recipes on 6.7.2012
Yes! Coconut sugar is a little less sweet than white sugar. Other natural sweeteners are just as sweet, it just depends on the sugar. These use a lot of them, but they make a lot! They are very rich, so they go a long way.
