Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1.25 cups boiling water
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats and boiling water. Stir and let it sit for 15 minutes to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold the soaked oats into the batter, mixing gently until evenly distributed.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips for topping, and fold the remaining chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
