Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of peanut butter until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Avoid overbaking to keep the bars chewy.
While the bars are baking, melt the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of peanut butter together in the microwave. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and creamy.
Once the bars are out of the oven, spread the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture evenly over the top.
Allow the peanut butter fingers to cool completely in the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator for quicker setting, if desired.
Once set, slice into fingers or bars and serve. Enjoy your delicious homemade peanut butter fingers!
