BAKING TIPS FOR CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL BARS

Eggs. Ensure that your eggs are at room temperature.  For those who overlook (like I usually do), merely put the eggs in some heat (not sizzling) water for a couple of minutes.

Flour.  Offer you flour stir earlier than utilizing to loosen up any compacted flour.  Then spoon the flour into your measuring cup and degree off. This may make sure you don’t use an excessive amount of flour in your recipe.

Butter. Your butter must be at room temperature as nicely.  A very good take a look at is to push your finger into the highest of the butter.  If it leaves a slight dent, you then’re able to go.
To hurry up the method, lower the butter into items and lay them out on a plate on the counter. Butter accommodates quantity of saturated fats, so I strive to not use an excessive amount of of it, but it surely makes this deal with creamy & scrumptious.
