Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Jeans Bars!
