8x8 Baking Pan
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter 262 grams
2 large eggs 100 grams
¼ cup coconut sugar 43 grams
¼ cup granulated sugar 61 grams
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 8 grams
1 ½ cups thick cut old-fashioned rolled oats 195 grams
½ teaspoon baking soda 3 grams
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips 93 grams
½ cup candy-coated chocolate candies 105 grams, such as M&M's

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the peanut butter and eggs together until well-combined.
1 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 large eggs
Mix in the coconut sugar and granulated sugar. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. The dough will be thick and sticky.
¼ cup coconut sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Stir in the oats, baking soda, and salt.
1 ½ cups thick cut old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate candies, saving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, ½ cup candy-coated chocolate candies
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just beginning to brown around the edges.
Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before cutting into squares.

Notes

You can sprinkle more of the chocolate chips and chocolate candies on top of the dough after you’ve spread it out on the baking dish.
Allow the bars to cool before cutting into them.
You can use chunky peanut butter to give these cookies even more crunchy texture to bite into.

Storage: Store monster cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
