I watch a LOT of Food Network television as you may notice throughout reading this blog.
This next recipe that I made for the first time today comes from one of my all time favorites, Giada De Laurentiis. She is beautiful and seems very down to earth and her recipes are delicious!
Today's adventure was Peanut Butter Oatmeal Squares (I have no idea if this is what she named them but this is what I'm calling mine)
1/2 c. unsalted butter (melted)
1 egg white
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
1/4 c. honey
2 c. oats (old fashioned or quick cooking )
1/4 c. toasted slivered almonds (I used sliced)
1/3 c. mini chocolate chips
I added 1/4 c. dried cranberries
mix together all ingredients except chocolate chips and stir until well mixed. After butter has cooled slightly pour the chocolate chips into the mixture. (you don't want to melt the chocolate chips)
Spray 9 x 13 baking pan with non stick oil then line with parchment paper. (you can skip the paper if you don't have it but it makes clean up and removal so much easier) Spread mixture into pan.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until edges golden. Let rest an hour then cut.
**Okay so I am impatient and really wanted to cut it right away....you actually do have to let it rest or you might as well just spoon the mix into a bowl and eat it with a spoon (which isn't a half bad idea...this would also be amazing over ice cream :)
