Steps

  2. Spread the oats and the chopped dry-roasted peanuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 8 minutes, until fragrant; let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining melted butter with the peanut butter, honey and brown sugar until smooth, then whisk in the egg and vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  5. Stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the toasted oats, three-quarters of the toasted chopped dry-roasted peanuts, and three-quarters of the chocolate chips.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the pan with damp hands, then scatter the remaining quarter of the toasted chopped dry-roasted peanuts and the remaining quarter of the chocolate chips over the top, pressing them in lightly.
  7. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 40 minutes, lift out by the parchment and cut into 12 bars.
