Triple Peanut Butter Streusel Bars
Bake: 28 mins to 30 mins at 350°F
Cool: At least 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 cup peanut butter-flavored pieces and/or semisweet chocolate pieces
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, cut up
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 teaspoons milk
Directions
1. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over edges of pan; set aside.
2. For crust: In a large bowl, combine oats, the 1 cup flour, the 1-1/2 cups brown sugar, the 1 teaspoon baking powder and the 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in the 1 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup of crumb mixture to reserve for topping. Stir peanuts and peanut butter-flavored pieces into the 1 cup reserved topping mixture; set aside.
3. Press remaining crumb mixture onto the bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Cool at least 15 minutes in pan on a wire rack.
4. In a medium saucepan, heat the 1 cup brown sugar, the 1/4 cup butter and peanut butter over medium heat until butter melts and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Stir in egg and vanilla. Stir in the 1-1/4 cups flour, the 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and the 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Drop in very small mounds evenly over the crust in pan. Sprinkle with reserved topping mixture.
5. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack before lifting from pan using edges of foil and cutting into bars.
6. For icing: In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and enough of the milk to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over bars. Makes 32 bars.
