Hippie Bars!!!

another Roots favorite...(a long list of ingredients but you can get all them at OB Peoples Co-op)


1 cup butter, room temp
2/3 cup evaporated cane sugar
1 cup rapadura sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ (toast raw wheat germ in a pan on low heat until it smells toasted)
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup raw hemp seed (no, these won't get you high)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1&1/2 cups chocolate chips (fair trade, of course; let's not support slavery for African children)

Beat butter and sugars until well-combined.  Add eggs, pb & vanilla and mix until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, mix together flours, wheat germ, oats, hemp seed, baking soda & salt.  Then mix into the wet ingredients.  Stir in the chocolate chips.

Press dough into a buttered 13"x9" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 28 minutes.

  2. hiya! rapadura is dried sugar cane juice. it's unrefined and high in iron. try your local health food store or you can substitute brown sugar.
