Peanut Butter Bars

Image
By

3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
3/4 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 tsp. soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
*1 c. white flour
*1/2 c. whole wheat flour
*1/2 c. regular oats
*1 c. **oat flour

Mix all together in order given.  Grease cookie sheet well.  Pat dough evenly into cookie sheet with hand or spatula.  Bake 9-11 minutes at 350° F.  It will still look soft but it's done.

Let cookie cool 15 minutes then spread 1 c. whipped p.b. (beat for about 2 minutes) over cookie.

Cool for an hour and then frost with 1 c. melted chocolate chips. Some people like to use frosting. I think chocolate chips taste better and it hardens well for storing in a container. Let harden before cutting.  You can place pan in freezer for a ½ hour or so to speed it up.  YUMMY and serves a lot!

*If you don't want to use oat flour and wheat flour the original recipe calls for 1½ cups flour and 2 cups oats.

**oat flour: blend regular oats in a blender until they're a flour like consistency-- store in an airtight container on the counter or freezer

Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Whisk together in a dish with a lid or a paper bag, set aside. Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk 2 Tbsp peanut b...

Amy's Southwestern Chicken Lasagna

By Amy
I went to Houston, TX to visit my sister last week and ate some very yummy Southwestern Chicken Lasagna in a little cafe there. I knew my hubby would love it so I tried recreating it for his birthday dinner last Sunday. It wasn't exactly the same, but everyone loved it and Mike immediately put it on his top ten list.
