PB granola bars

cooking spray
1 egg white
1/2 cup chunky PB
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted *see cook's note
1/3 cup mini choc chips

Position rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 350*Spray 7x10" baking dish and line with parchment and spray again.

In a medium bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg white until frothy. Stir in the PB, brown sugar, and honey. Add the melted butter, oats and almonds. Stir to combine, then add the choc chips.

Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture into the prepared pan, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Bake until the edge begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.

Cooks note: to toast almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated 350* oven until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
