By á-7075

Ingredients

• Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars:
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (I use natural)
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup oatmeal
• Peanut Butter Frosting:
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2-3 Tbsp. milk
• 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter, peanut butter and sugars in a large bowl. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking soda, and oatmeal and mix until well combined. Press into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.

2. To make the frosting, combine the butter, peanut butter, and vanilla in a medium sized bowl. Whip until light and fluffy. Start by adding 2 Tbsp. milk and the powdered sugar. Whip until incorporated. Adjust by adding more milk or more sugar until you reach the desired consistency.

Makes a 9x13 pan.
