I still don’t know whether this was a bad idea or not. I fell asleep last night with this idea in my head that I wanted to make oat bars, something that was more cookie than granola bar. So I plagiarized the dough recipe from a cookie recipe I liked, and substituted some flour for oats. I also added peanut butter and concocted my own brown sugar using molasses.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cup Oats
- 2 Cup Flour
- 1.5 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Butter
- ¼ Cup Peanut Butter
- 2 Tbsp Molasses*
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 2 Eggs
*Alternatively, you can substitute the molasses and sugar for: 1 Cup White Sugar + ½ Cup Brown Sugar.
Instructions:
- Mix the wet ingredients: sugar, butter, peanut butter, molasses, eggs.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients (dry stuff).
- Set the oven to 350F. Shape the dough into bars, and place them on a tray to put in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Take out the tray and let cool.
Verdict:
There weren’t enough oats. I think next time I’d do 1.5 cup flour, 2.5 cup oats.
