How to Make Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 3 cups quick-cooking oats.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
  10. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread melted chocolate evenly over the cooled bars.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow chocolate to set before cutting into squares and enjoying!
