Ingredients

Scale

For the Bars:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
    • Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Bake the Bars:
    • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
    • Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • You can substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for a different twist.
