Remember those peanut butter bars you used to get in the High School cafeteria? Remember how delicious they were?? I set out to find the perfect recipe for these delectable morsels and struck gold with this one. I made some small changes to it to make it healthier and I don't feel like those changes compromised the taste at all.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars
1/2 C. butter, softened (original recipe calls for 3/4 C.)
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/3 C. agave (original recipe calls for 1/2 sugar, if you don't have agave just use sugar)
1 large egg
2 t. vanilla
3/4 C. Adams Natural Peanut Butter
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 C. whole wheat flour (I always substitute whole wheat flour for white flour)
1 1/2 C. oats
1 C. milk chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch glass pan. Beat butter and sugars until creamy, add egg, vanilla, and peanut butter and beat until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Press mixture evenly into pan and bake 15-18 minutes. (note: it will be under baked when you pull it out) While still warm, evenly distribute the chocolate chips onto the vars. When melted spread into a thin layer and enjoy!
