Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars

Sometimes life just calls for ooey-gooey-falls-apart-in-your-mouth chocolate bars. I may be in the minority, but I tend to prefer a slightly under-done bar… one that is best eaten with a spoon. One that is amazing on its own but even better when friends and family can join together around the baking pan with a fork in hand. Have you ever done that? Just let the kids dig in with a fork? It is a bonified memory-maker… one of those things that the kids never forget and will definitely ask for again!

To achieve this ooey-gooey bar, bake for a few minutes less than the recipe suggests. Top with some vanilla ice cream and you have created a magical bar that everyone will love!

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!

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, at room temperature

• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan with baking spray, parchment, or the butter/flour method.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer (can also use hand-held mixer) beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until well mixed, about 3 minutes.
3. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
