Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) salted butter
  • ¾ cup (137g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (170g) old fashioned oats
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (plus a little more to put on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar. Beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until it's light and fluffy. Then add in 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon of vanilla, mixing until well incorporated.

  4. Transfer the dough into the prepared baking dish and press it firmly to create an even layer. Sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top for decoration. Bake for 25 minutes.
  5. Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely before cutting and serving.
