Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 14-ounce can Condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a small overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly and holds together when pressed.
Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture and press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate filling evenly over the crust in the baking dish and spread with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the chocolate layer is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1-2 hours.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or desired portion sizes.
