Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8x8-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 to ensure even distribution.
Add the melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and resembles a crumbly dough.
Reserve about 1/2 cup of the oat mixture for topping, and press the remaining mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the base layer.
Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the chocolate chip layer to create a crumbly topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the chocolate has melted.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares or rectangles.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
