- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups rolled oats *can substitute with quick oats (equal amount)

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (hand-held mixer also works great), cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 10 seconds between each addition.
- Add vanilla extract.
- With mixer at low speed, slowly add the flour/oat mixture until combined.
- Remove bowl from mixer stand and fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
- Spread 1/2 of the cookie mixture into the prepared baking pan. If you find the dough too sticky - spray some cooking spray on a spatula to help spread evenly.
- Pour peanut butter chips on top of the cookie mixture. Carefully press/spread the remaining dough on top of the peanut butter chips.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-24 minutes, until golden brown.
- Allow pan to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
