½ cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 ½ cups peanut butter
3 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 tsp baking soda
4 ½ cups oats
12 oz dark chocolate chips
12 oz peanut M&Ms
Preheat oven to 350*. Spray a 9.13 baking pan with a bit of spray oil and sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon sugar. Set dish to one side. In a stand mixer, cream butter, sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter together for 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla to the creamy butter mixture until the eggs are incorporated. Stir in baking soda, oats, chocolate chips and M&M’s until all ingredients are well mixed. Press dough into the prepared baking dish and smooth. Bake for 15-20 minutes being careful not to overbake.
