Oatmeal Peanut Butter Squares

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup old fachioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
3⁄4 cup peanut butter (creamy)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1⁄2 cup milk (or almond vanilla soy milk)
1⁄3 cup chocolate chips (mini ones)
Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add peanut butter and sugar and mix on high speed until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in vanilla extract and mix until combined.

3. Add in flour, oats, salt and baking soda, mixing on medium speed. The dough will look crumbly and you want the peanut butter mix to be broken up into clumps. Add milk with the mixer on low speed, and mix until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.

4. Make sure dough is completely combined, and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place it in the middle of an 8×8 baking dish, pressing it to fit. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until set and golden on top. Let cool completely, then cut into 9 squares.

Notes

Can use almond milk
