Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
- In a large bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup, vanilla, salt, almond extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth and combined. Add in egg and egg yolk and whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add in flour and baking soda and whisk until just combined. Fold in oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms. Dough will be somewhat thick. Pour dough into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Bake bars in the preheated oven until the center of the bars looks set, and the edges are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely in the pan before removing and cutting into bars.
