Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray it with non-stick baking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats and boiling water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes until the oats absorb the water.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this step.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the oat mixture has cooled slightly, add it to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 0.25 cup for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved 0.25 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your chocolate chip oatmeal cake warm or at room temperature!
