Ingredients

1 cup Quaker® Oats-Old Fashioned
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup chocolate chips

How to make it

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

Mix sugar and peanut butter using a mixer (I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer) on high for 2-3 minutes, then add vanilla extract.
3

Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix on medium until the mix looks crumbly.
4

You may need to scrap the sides of bowl as the peanut butter may stick to it.
5

Once the mix is evenly mixed and crumbles, add milk on low until a dough is formed.
6

Fold in chocolate chips with a spoon.
7

Once the chocolate chips are evenly distributed, roll the entire mix into a ball using hands.
8

Place the ball of dough into an 8×8 cake pan, pressing the dough to fit evenly into the pan.
9

Bake for 17-20 minutes.
10

Remove once the bars are a golden brown.
