JESSIE'S OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER BARS

(we rip through these like they are going out of style every time I make them...)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream Together:

1/2 cup butter

2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

Add & mix together until its at a cookie dough consistency :

1/2 cup wheat flour

3/4 cup white flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2-3/4 tsp salt (depending if you salted butter or not)

1 1/2 cup steel cut oats (I use a mixture of oat, barley, rye, wheat, and kamut flakes)

Lightly grease (I use pam) a 9 x 9 pan

Press peanut butter dough into pan until smooth on top

Poor a thick layer of semi sweet chocolate chips over the dough

Bake for 15-17 minutes

Spread the melted chocolate chips out so they are smooth like frosting

Cool, then cut into bars and EAT UP!

Enjoy!
