Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Bars
The yummiest of all worlds, these delicious cookie bars are the perfect combination of chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter, and oatmeal cookies. Flourless, dairy-free and refined sugar-free and so easy so make!
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.
