OATMEAL COOKIE BARS



Oatmeal Cookie Bars image

These are easily the best homemade oatmeal cookie bars we've ever had, and that's really saying something! This recipe is simple to make and has all the essentials - chopped nuts, chocolate chips, high quality Gold Medal™ flour, and whole-grain oats. We love the ease of making oatmeal cookie bars because they have the chewy texture and flavor of an oatmeal cookie, but they take only 10 minutes to prep and use only one pan in the oven. Add extra indulgence by drizzling a little melted chocolate over these once they are cool and before you cut out the bars.

DELICIOUS CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL BARS



Delicious Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars image

These are the *best* bars and so easy to make, the trick to these is not to overbake, mine bake out perfectly in a 350 degree oven, second-lowest rack for 22 minutes, servings is only estimated --- add in 1 teaspoon cinnamon also if desired --- this was developed using full-fat peanut butter :)

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 32m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar, well packed
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla (can use 1 tablespoon maple syrup or 2 teaspoons maple extract)
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups peanut butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups oatmeal (I use half quick cooking and regular oats)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed cream the butter with both sugars and vanilla until no sugar granules remain (about 4 minutes).
  • Add in the peanut butter and beat until combined.
  • Add in eggs and beat until combined.
  • In a bowl combine the flour with baking soda and oats; add to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Transfer and spread into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes or until JUST set (do not overbake).
  • Cool then cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. They provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor. Avoid quick-cooking oats, as they will make the bars too soft.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a good quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show, so don't skimp on it. Use a chocolate that you love the taste of.
  • Don't overbake the bars. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the bars just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Chewy chocolate oatmeal bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, lunchboxes, or after-school snacks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious treats anytime you want.
