Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup Smooth peanut butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 items Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently with the spatula to create an even layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center looks set. Do not overbake to ensure a chewy texture.

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Step 10

Slice into 12 bars (or more for smaller portions) and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
