- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Oatmeal Cookie Layer
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ cups rolled oats, (not instant)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup peanut butter chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips , OR semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x9 inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and chocolate over medium heat and stir until smooth. (This can also be done in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds to make sure it doesn't burn)
- Transfer metled chocolate to a large bowl. Add eggs and sugar and mix until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt. Add flour and mix until just combined.
- Pour 1/2 of the batter into prepared pan. Gently press peanut butter cups into the batter. Pour the rest of the batter over the peanut butter cups. Bake 30-35 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- In a medium bowl combine peanut butter, brown sugar and mix until smooth. Add egg and mix again until smooth.
- In a small bowl whisk together oats and baking soda. Add oats to wet mixture and mix until combined. Stir in peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
- Drop teaspoon-sized dollops of cookie dough onto the baked brownies. Continue to do this until the dough is gone or the brownies are completely covered.
- Return the pan to the oven for about 10 minutes or until cookie layer starts to brown slightly.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. Store in airtight container at room temperature (or chilled) for up to 5 days.
