Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
