Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add 1 cup of melted butter and the vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and forms a crumbly mixture.
Press two-thirds of the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a firm base layer. Reserve the remaining mixture for later use.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the oat base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the chocolate layer, gently pressing it in for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Once completely cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
