How to Make Lower Fat Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 3) to the wet ingredients (from step 4), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
