Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove it from heat and stir in the brown sugar until combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and sugar mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
Press two-thirds of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a base layer. Reserve the remaining one-third of the oat mixture for the topping.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semisweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the oat base layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the top of the chocolate layer for a textured topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the edges are set.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Oat Square Extravaganza!
