Ingredients You'll Need
Peanut Butter Bars:
▢3/4 cup butter (170g), room temperature
▢1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
▢1 cup light brown sugar (220g)
▢2 large eggs
▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (135g), plus more for spreading over baked bars
▢2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
▢1/2 teaspoon salt
▢1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (188g)
▢2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (170g)
Chocolate Frosting:
▢1/4 cup butter (57g)
▢1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
▢1 1/2 Tablespoons milk
▢1 1/4 cups powdered sugar (150g)
▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter and mix well.
¾ cup butter,½ cup granulated sugar,1 cup light brown sugar,2 large eggs,1 teaspoon vanilla extract,½ cup creamy peanut butter
Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients.
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda,½ teaspoon salt,1 ½ cups all-purpose flour,2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Combine: Add dry ingredients to creamy mixture. Press firmly into a greased 9×13'' pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 17-21 minutes or until no longer glossy, but just barely set in the center. Do not over-bake; they will harden as they cool. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Spread Peanut Butter: Once cool, spread a thin layer of creamy peanut butter over the bars.
Chocolate Frosting: Add butter to a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted, stir in cocoa. Remove from heat and stir im milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, using electric beaters to get out any lumps, if needed. Spread chocolate frosting over the top of the bars.
