Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Additional creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the 1 cup of peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch baking pan, creating a smooth, even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, as the bars will continue to firm up as they cool.
While the bars are baking, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Set aside.
Remove the bars from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before spreading the additional 0.5 cup of peanut butter over the top in a thin, even layer.
Next, spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, creating a smooth topping.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or transfer to the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has set, cut into bars or fingers of your desired size and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
