Yes, you could use less chocolate chips. Even 1/3 cup would cut it down and you’d still get some chocolate chips. I was thinking about using stevia in the recipe, but it doesn’t give a good texture when its baked in a bar like this…it would lose the chewy-ness. With more applesauce, you’d taste it, and its not really sweet enough. You could try less sucanat too (1/4 to 1/3 cup). I another bar recipe that’s no-bake. Its 4 grams of sugar per bar if you want to check those out (could be even less if you omitted raisins)…http://www.busybuthealthy.com/2010/11/20/no-bake_chocolate_chip_cookie_dough_protein_bars/

Kristine,
Do you have a suggestion as to how I might can cut the sugar more? Is it possible to use less sucanat (1/4 cup) or possibly more applesauce? I’m really watching my sugar intake as I tend to love it too much. Thanks for sharing your recipes… love your site!

Yum they look amazing! True story, I actually have some homemade granola bars just cooling on the counter right now lol! Posting the recipe on Monday. But they’re different to these – these would perfectly satisfy that chewy chocolate chip craving I get often! Yum!
