Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Bars Recipe
One of my all-time favorite cookie recipes that can be found on our website is my Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies that only require five ingredients.
When it comes to having a good time, they have everything to offer!
The bar version of those cookies is back, and we’re here to bring you some. The chewy peanut butter oatmeal bars have the same delicious flavor and wonderful texture as the cookies, but they are fashioned into bars in a simple and straightforward manner.
These peanut butter oatmeal cookie bars are here to support our every wish, which is especially valuable for those of us who are often unable to make up our minds about which cookie treat we want to consume.
Additionally, they do not require any butter, do not contain any flour, and have a smaller amount of added sugar than traditional cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract, optional
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
-
Combine the eggs, peanut butter, and pure maple syrup (and vanilla extract if adding) in a large bowl and mix until everything is well combined. Note: if your peanut butter is cold or seems firm, microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds to help with the mixing process.
-
Add the rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon and sea salt (dry ingredients) to the mixing bowl and mix until everything is combined and a thick dough forms.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips (if adding).
-
Transfer the peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough to the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer. If you’d like, sprinkle the top with extra chocolate chips and/or flaky sea salt.
-
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the bars have set up and the edges are slightly golden brown.
-
Allow the peanut butter chocolate chip bars to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze in a large zip lock bag for up to 3 months.
You can wrap the baking pan in plastic wrap and leave the bars on the counter for up to 2 days.
