Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each ingredient is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and, if using, the chopped nuts.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy! These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
