Ingredients
1.5 cups flour
1 cup rolled oats
0.75 cups pecans
0.75 cups white sugar
0.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
0.25 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
2
For crust, pulse flour, oats, pecans, white sugar, coconut, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles wet sand.
3
Spoon three-fourths of oat mixture (about 4 1/2 cups) into the prepared pan. Press into an even layer. Transfer remaining one-fourth of mixture to a small bowl; using your hands, squeeze and rub mixture together until crumbly. Spread streusel on a rimmed baking sheet.
4
Bake both pans, stirring streusel halfway through, until streusel is golden, about 18 minutes. Remove streusel from oven. Bake crust until golden brown, about 12 minutes more.
5
Meanwhile, for filling, microwave chocolate chips and peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl on High in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until mixture is melted and fully combined.
6
To assemble, pour chocolate mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle with streusel. Chill until set, 2 to 3 hours. Cut into 20 bars.
