MONSTER COOKIE BARS



Monster Cookie Bars image

This is the bar form of one of my favorite cookies, the monster cookie! The monster cookie originated in Michigan and contains oats, peanut butter and candy-coated chocolates, and traditionally does not have flour. I love the chewy consistency and nutty flavor from the oats and peanut butter. It's kind of like a more indulgent granola bar!

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted but not hot
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup chocolate coated candies, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a 9-inch square metal pan with parchment paper that comes up on two sides to give you little wings.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the oats, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar until combined and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Add the vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the oat mixture until combined, then fold in the peanuts and chocolate-coated candies. Press into the baking pan. Press a few additional chocolate-coated candies into the top.
  • Bake until browned around the edges; begin checking for doneness at 28 minutes. Let cool in the pan completely, then carefully lift out of the pan and use a sharp serrated knife to slice into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your bars a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or a combination of both.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown. The edges should be slightly crispy and the center should be set.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Monster Cookie Bars with Peanut Butter and Oatmeal are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With their combination of oats, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
