    Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars - with oatmeal

    These peanut butter chocolate chip bars with oatmeal are really good!  This is a scratch recipe that makes a big batch.  The kids didn't even notice they contained oatmeal. Don't tell them!! My kids are great about trying the recipes I make and sometimes create.  Sometimes the recipes are a little different.   Sometimes they taste great but don't look Pinterest worthy.  My one son's besties can be counted on to eat up these trials.   It's a win, win situation.  I don't waste food and they get a treat!Peanut butter chocolate chip bars with oatmeal.

    I make lots of baked goods and we certainly can't eat it all.  I've started packing an extra treat for son's buddy.  Apparently, it's now known as the Momcrieff treat of the day : ).   Seriously, I was nervous about the whole teenaged time but I have two now.  Two boys.   And I love them and their friends!  What awesome people they are.  It's never a dull moment!  My kids have never made me laugh so much (in a totally great way!).

    Just so you know, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars with oatmeal are the favorite at this point! The tray is quickly emptying, even without me sending these in for lunches. As an FYI, it's a great bar treat when you need to bring/send one.   Because they are so thick and rich, cut them into smaller pieces. Just be aware of those peanut allergies.

    Here's the Recipe Printable for you!

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup softened butter
    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 1 ½ tablespoon vanilla
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 ¼ cups peanut butter
    • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
    • ½ cup whole wheat flour Can substitute more white flour.
    • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 cups oatmeal - old fashioned
    • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit
    • Spray 13 x 9 pan
    • Cream butter, all sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Sugar should be dissolved (3-4 minutes on medium)
    • Add peanut butter and mix
    • Add eggs and mix until combined
    • Gently mix in baking soda into flour. Add all flour in stages and mix.
    • Add 2 cups of oatmeal in stages and mix. Will be a stiff dough and you may have to mix by hand at the end.
    • Add yummy chocolate chips. Stir in by hand.
    • Dump into your baking dish and spread evenly. Again, it's a very thick and stiff dough.
    • Bake 22-25 minutes, being careful not to overtake.
    • ***I test the center with a toothpick or small wooden skewer. It's ready when the skewer comes out with just a little crumb type mix on it (vs. wet dough). You don't want to bake until it comes out clean because then it may end up dry. Center may sink a little when it cools.

      I just made this recipe. I put parchment paper inside the pan, it's new and I don't want scratches on it yet. I baked it an extra 3-4 minutes because it didn't seem baked all the way through.

        I'm starting to use parchment paper more often. It really helps on cleaning up and I like that the bottoms of my baked goods are less brown? I am guessing but the difference may be in how hot our ovens are. Mine tends to run hot and yours may be a little cooler? Just test it every few minutes and find what works in your oven. Also, keep in mind that often bake goods set once they cool down. Don't be fooled that the squares are not done if you are getting melted chocolate chip when testing with a toothpick! Did you find the recipe was fine once it cooled?
