Does anyone like peanut butter and butterscotch? How bout together in a bar form with some healthy oats in it? That pretty much sounds like breakfast to me. Go ahead, I don’t care if you eat these bars for breakfast. I won’t tell anyone. 🙂 The bar is made of peanut butter and oats and gets topped with butterscotch chips on top. I thought the butterscotch chips were going to melt in the oven but they didn’t. Then it gets topped with a peanut butter glaze made of powdered sugar, milk and peanut butter. Who can’t resist that? I sure can’t, love peanut butter and butter scotch!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature, plus more for greasing
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg

Turned out yummy except for that 25 minutes was not long enough! They were still under done.
Jenna says
When the glaze sets on the bars it is very light and will blend in with the bars.
