Ingredients

For the bars

  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the glaze

  • ½ cup sifted powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 3-5 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or by hand, cream the butter, white granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 minutes.
    8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar
  • Scrape the bowl and add the egg, peanut butter, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix to incorporate, 2 minutes.
    1 large egg, ⅓ cup peanut butter, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Add flour and rolled oats. Mix until no streaks of flour remain, 1 minute.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats
  • Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick spray and spread batter evenly to the corners and sides.
  • Bake until the edges are set and the center soft, 18-23 minutes.
  • While the bars are baking, prepare the peanut butter glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and the mixture is thickened but runny, making ribbons on itself. Set aside until ready to use.
    ½ cup sifted powdered sugar, ¼ cup peanut butter, 3-5 tbsp heavy cream
  • When the bars are finished baking, remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Let the chocolate chips melt for 5 minutes then spread evenly over the bars.
    6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Drizzle the prepared peanut butter glaze over the chocolate and spread with an offset spatula slightly mixing the glaze and chocolate. Allow the chocolate and glaze to set before cutting, 2 hours.
  • Cut into "finger" sized bars and enjoy!
