Ingredients
Scale
Bars:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
- For Extra Chewiness: Use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats.
- For a Crunchy Texture: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freezing Instructions: Wrap bars individually in plastic wrap and store in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months.
