🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

5. Stir in the rolled oats with a spatula until evenly incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spatula or a spoon.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

9. Once cooled, cut the oatmeal bars into 16 even squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
