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 Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 items Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
