  • 1 cup butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the sides. Set aside
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a medium saucepan over low heat until the butter has melted, and the sugar has dissolved
  • Stir in the oats, cinnamon, and salt and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly
  • Transfer half of the oat mixture to the prepared baking pan and press down to create an even layer
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter on high in increments of 30 seconds, stirring between each increment
  • Pour the chocolate mixture onto the bottom oat layer, leaving a little bit leftover to drizzle at the end. Top with the remaining oat mixture and press down gently. Drizzle the remaining chocolate mixture over top of the bars
