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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- 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.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour, 2 cups of oats, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips.
- 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.
- Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely before cutting and serving.
Notes
Ensure that the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
