🍪 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars Recipe – Delicious Recipe Ever: Ooey-gooey chocolate bars that fall apart in your mouth are sometimes just what the doctor ordered. I might be the only one who doesn’t like fully cooked bars, but I like them a little underdone. I like to eat them with a spoon. People can gather around the baking pan with forks and enjoy this dish together, but it’s even better when everyone is there together. Did you ever do that? Let the kids use a fork to eat? There’s no doubt that it will be something that the kids will always remember and want to do again.
If you want this gooey bar, bake for a few minutes less than the recipe says to. And then add some vanilla ice cream on top. This will make a magical bar that everyone will love.
🍪 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars Recipe – Delicious Recipe Ever
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (168 g) milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup (168 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Warm the oven up to 350°F (175°C). Use baking spray, parchment paper, or the butter and flour way to prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- You can also use a hand-held mixer. Put the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat them for about 3 minutes, or until they are well mixed.
- One egg at a time, make sure to mix well after each addition.
- The mixer should be on low when you add the vanilla extract.
- Take the bowl off of the stand mixer and add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, rolled oats, and semisweet chocolate chips. Mix everything together by hand to make it moist.
- Add ½ of the mixture to the baking pan that has been prepped. Add milk chocolate chips on top of the mix. Carefully press the rest of the cookie dough on top of the chocolate.
- It will take 30 to 40 minutes in a hot oven until it turns golden brown. (It shouldn’t move around too much)
- Wait about 5 minutes in the pan to cool down before cutting into bars.
Rolled Oats vs. Quick Oats
I used Old-Fashioned oats in my recipe but you can certainly use Quick Oats. We love oatmeal so love the consistency, texture, and flavor that an old-fashioned rolled oat adds. Most people use quick oats and never notice the difference, though!
PRO TIP: Make sure your pan is prepared really well. I like to use baking spray for this specific recipe, but you can also use GOOP, or homemade pan release. If you are using GOOP, make sure to coat the sides of the pan as well.
