    YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE!

    • it's filled with delicious oatmeal, peanut butter and chocolate chips
    • basic pantry ingredients and no fancy equipment needed. You could even mix them by hand!
    • these bars store well at room temperature and taste delicious and most for up to five days.
    • if you love my Criss Cross Peanut Butter Cookies or Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies, then you'll love these!

    INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

    Butter - I recommend butter in this recipe and not margarine. If you use margarine, the squares will be greasy.

    Rolled Oats - Use quick oats. If you only have the large flakes, then pulse them for about 5 seconds in a food processor. Do not use steel-cut oats in this recipe.

    Pecans - Walnuts can be substituted for the pecans and are equally delicious!

    Chocolate Chips - Use dark or milk chocolate chips in these bars.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Butter and sugar are mixed in mixing bowl.

    (see full, detailed instructions on recipe card at bottom of page)

    • Cream together butter, peanut butter and brown sugar
    • Add eggs
    • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl
    • Add flour to the butter mixture.
    • Stir in rolled oats, then nuts and chocolate chips
    • Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan
    • I've experimented with this recipe a lot. Because it's in such a large pan for a bar recipe, the edges will start to brown at the 20 minute mark at 350F. That's when you turn the oven down to 325F and cook for the remaining 10-15 minutes.

    Let them cool at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares
