Make these thick, chewy peanut butter oatmeal bars loaded with chocolate chips. This easy baked dessert requires minimal effort and delivers rich, satisfying flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the peanut butter until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For a fudgier texture, slightly reduce the baking time to 20 minutes.
  • You can substitute quick oats for rolled oats, but the texture will be softer.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best bar structure.
