Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and tray
Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a square tray or line the bottom with baking paper; so you can easily remove the bars later.
Beat the oil and sugars.
Beat butter and margarine in a bowl until creamy. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and continue until the mixture thickens.
Add egg and flavoring
Add the egg and mix briefly. Add vanilla and peanut butter; mix until smooth.
Connect dry ingredients
Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add this mixture to the liquid mixture and mix with a spatula until it comes together; Don't over beat.
Add oats and chocolate
Add oatmeal and chocolate chips. The dough is ready when it is distributed evenly everywhere.
Press into tray and bake
Put the dough on the tray and press it to equal thickness with the back of the spoon. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges are lightly colored. Let it rest on the tray for 10 minutes.
Prepare glaze
Melt the butter and margarine in a small saucepan over low heat. Add milk and peanut butter and mix. Remove from the stove, add powdered sugar and vanilla and whisk until it reaches a fluid consistency.
Spread on top and slice
Spread the glaze over the bars while it is still warm. Slice it when it is set at room temperature. If you want to cut it more clearly, keep it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
