Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1-1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour*
  • 2 cups whole rolled oats
  • 1  teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Beat until blended, scraping sides as needed. Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Pat dough evenly in a parchment-lined or buttered 13x9-inch pan, using water to wet fingers in order to spread smoothly if needed.
  • Bake until golden around the edges, 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack until just warm (about 20-30 minutes) and cut into 24 pieces.
  • Let cool completely and store in an airtight container for a couple days at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

*You can also use whole wheat pastry flour or spelt flour.
