      Here are the general guidelines:
      Temperature: Increase between 15 and 25 degrees to help baked goods develop structure faster. Mostly needed with cake, some cookies, and yeast bread.
      Bake time: For every 30 minutes a recipe suggests, decrease by 5 to 8 minutes.
      Sugar: Subtract a tablespoon per cup that your recipe calls for. Too much sugar concentration weakens dough.
      Liquid (water, milk, etc.): At, 3,000 feet use 1 to 2 additional tablespoons to prevent dough from drying out.
      Flour: Add 1 extra tablespoon at 3,500 feet to help strengthen dough; add an additional tablespoon for every 1,000 feet of elevation after that.
      Leavening agents (baking soda and baking powder): Decrease by 1/8 teaspoon at 3,000 feet, 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon at 5,000 feet, and 1/4 teaspoon at 7,000 feet. If the recipe calls for both, decrease both.
      Hope this helps Judy!

      I've made these three times, and they're delicious, however, the center always sinks and the corners are thick and kind of hard. I live at 4300 feet altitude, so one time I added 2 Tbsp flour, but they still fell. Any suggestions?

      You are so sweet Vivienne! Thank you so much for trying them! xo

      These were great. Very rich, tasty, and flavorful. Love your recipes.

      Yes you can Patty. I know some natural peanut butter brands can be a little stiff, so if that's the case, I would microwave 10-20 seconds to make it easier to work with! Jif natural peanut butter is pretty smooth! Enjoy!!

    6. Patty says

      February 24, 2021 at 8:47 pm

      Can I use natural peanut butter?

      January 18, 2021 at 5:25 pm

      I am sorry Laurie. I updated it to reflect 1 teaspoon versus 2. Thank you for the feedback!

      Tried this! But it took me a little longer to bake and I used the 13 x 9 pan. But tastes delicious!

      Amazing and easy one- pan baking. Great for freezing as well.

      Hey Brittany! I think this could be bumped down to what you feel comfortable with when it comes to baking soda and the bitterness, and since people have different tastes, I understand where you are coming from. This recipe has 1 1/2 cups oats besides 1 1/2 cups flour, so that's why there is more, like oat flour only oats, but I think 1 teaspoon of baking soda would suffice for sure. Thanks for your feedback and I hope you enjoy! xo

    14. Brittany says

      April 07, 2020 at 4:59 pm

      Why does this call for 2 teaspoons of baking soda if the rule for baking soda is 1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour? I'm always concerned about the bitterness of baking soda in baked goods if too much is added..

      April 22, 2017 at 10:27 pm

      Danielle, I'm so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing, and putting the peanut butter chips/semi-sweet chocolate chip combo sounds wonderful! 🙂

      I just made these bars and they are scrumptious. I mixed semi sweet chips with Reese peanut butter chips. Baking time was longer in my 13/9 . Mine tool like 35-37 minutes. but I put foil over top to prevent edges getting to brown and crispy. Great with cup of coffee or almond milk or whatever ??

    17. ChocolaTess says

      January 16, 2016 at 1:06 pm

      I'm so sorry Jen! Maybe you just needed to bake them a little more. If edges are browning more, not sure what type of pan you are using, but you could reduce the temperature 25 degrees and bake a little longer, and rotate pan in oven half way through baking. Be sure to select a light-colored, shiny pan, which will conduct heat evenly. Glass or dark-colored pans can cause the edges to overbake or even burn. A lot of times I use parchment or tin foil in my pans as well. Hope you give them a try again!

    18. Jenn says

      January 16, 2016 at 11:19 am

      I did 350 and even cooked more because of gooey-ness. The edges were great! LOL I reread recipe over and over to make sure I did everything right....so sad they didn't all turn out.

    19. ChocolaTess says

      January 11, 2016 at 11:30 am

      Jenn, 350 is the temp. What temp did you use?

    20. Jenn says

      January 10, 2016 at 7:31 pm

      No temp listed!!! Help they are still gooey but getting over done on edges!

      Thanks Melissa! It's definitely a fave of mine for sure. 🙂
