Monster Bars

2-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant)
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
5 Tbsp light stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup reduced-fat peanut butter 
1/3 cup mini-M&M's baking bits
1/4 cup mini-chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 10x15" rimmed baking pan with nonstick spray.
Combine the oats, flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar in a large
bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, egg white, and vanilla; beat, scraping the bowl as necessary,
until well blended.
Add the peanut butter and beat until blended, about 1 minute.
With the mixer on low speed, beat in the oat mixture just until combined.
Spread the mixture in the pan; spinkle with the baking bits and chocolate chips.
Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes
out clean, 15-17 minutes.
Cool completely on a rack.
