Description

These chewy oatmeal chocolate chip bars combine hearty oats and rich chocolate chips for a soft, satisfying treat. Easy to make and perfect for snacking, they’re deliciously customizable with your favorite add-ins!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt). Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugars, egg and vanilla extract – these are your wet ingredients. Mix well until they are smooth.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in rolled oats and chocolate chips ensuring even distribution.
  • Spray baking dish with and line it with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure equal thickness.
  • Place the dish in the pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Keep a close eye on the baking time to prevent over-baking, which can make the bars dry or crumbly. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely, which usually takes around 30 minutes. This resting period helps the bars to firm up, making them easier to cut.
  • When cooled, carefully remove the bars from the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles according to your preference.
