Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups quick oats (see note)
  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats (see note)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips or more chocolate chips (see note)

Instruction

  • 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!
