Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 100 grams mixed nuts (chopped, unsalted)
- 50 grams rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until just liquefied. Remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and well-combined.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and rolled oats, ensuring the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Slice into 12 equal bars and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
