Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and fold it in until evenly distributed.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center looks set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 even squares.
Serve and enjoy as a snack or dessert! Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
