Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Mix in the peanut butter until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the quick-cooking oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 16 squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Goober Bars! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
