Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups quick oats (see note)
- 1 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats (see note)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips or more chocolate chips (see note)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan or line with foil and lightly grease the foil (for easier cleanup). I use a metal pan; if using glass, you may want to decrease the oven temp to 325 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt together until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well-combined. Add the quick oats, old-fashioned oats, chocolate chips and butterscotch chips and mix until evenly combined.
- Spread the dough evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are lightly golden - don't overbake or the bars might be dry and crumbly. Cool the bars in the pan before cutting into squares. These bars freeze great!
Notes
- Oats: I like the combo of the two different kinds of oats, but you can use either all quick oats or all old-fashioned oats (slightly different texture in the bars if doing so).
- Peanut Butter: I have not tried these bars with natural peanut butter or a different kind of nut butter like cashew or almond.
- Gluten-Free: these bars are easily gluten-free since there isn't flour in the recipe, but to be truly gluten-free, double check all your ingredients (particularly the oats and the butterscotch or other chips) to ensure the package clearly states they are gluten-free. The Nestle brand of butterscotch chips are NOT gluten-free but the Guittard and Hershey brands are gluten-free.
