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...

Click on the picture to see a perfectly readable recipe with a bonus Pink Cloud shake recipe!!  Do you have vanilla ice cream but no chocolate?  Improvise by adding Nesquik powder or any chocolate syrup. This came out of an old Better Homes and Garden magazine my mom bought from the library and I just scanned the page .  I wanted to share it because I thought it was cute--maybe from the 90's?   We've had this shake a lot and even put it in H Kindergarten Cookbook.
