Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.5 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Pour the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir until a crumbly but slightly cohesive mixture forms.
Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture and press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create an even base layer.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut evenly over the base layer.
Scatter the reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture over the toppings, leaving some gaps to allow the toppings to peek through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the bars set fully and make them easier to slice.
Once cooled, cut into 12 equal bars (or smaller pieces if desired) and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
