Catetories: Desserts & Sweets
Recipe: wet ingredients:
½ c. butter at room temperature
1 c. peanut butter
1 ¼ c. brown sugar
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 t. vanilla

dry ingredients:
¾ c. oatmeal
¾ c. flour
½ t. baking powder
¾ t. baking soda
¼ t. salt

1 12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Mix wet ingredients in one bowl and dry in another. Mix together and spread in a greased 9”x13” pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Put in oven for 5 minutes. Remove and swirl chocolate into batter by running a table knife through the batter: make lines about 1½ “ apart, alternating left-to-right, then right-to left. Repeat in the other direction, top-to-bottom, then bottom-to-top. Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes for a moister bar or 20 minutes for a drier, more cake-like bar.
