Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly before mixing in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar-butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped peanuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Once cooled, cut into 12 even bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
