Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars

Monday work treat, not much to say about this other than it was really good.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 16 bars

Ingredients

2 C flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 1/2 C old fashioned oats

1 1/2 C brown sugar

1 1/4 C butter, melted

2 eggs

1 Tb vanilla

2 1/2 C milk chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Into your stand mixer or large mixing bowl place 2 C flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Toss them together with a fork to combine.

3. Grab 2 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats and add them to the mixing bowl.

4. Add 1 1/2 C brown sugar and toss everything together to mix.

5. Melt 1 1/4 C butter and pour it into the bowl. Mix for one minute.

6. Add 2 eggs and 1 Tb vanilla.

7. Mix until the dough has combined. It will be crumbly.

8. Add 2 1/2 C chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate, but semi sweet, butterscotch or cinnamon chips would also be fabulous. Mix the chips in.

9. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and press the dough into it.

10. Bake for 20 minutes. Stick a butter knife or toothpick into the center. When it comes out clean the bars are done. Don't worry if they look a little bit underdone. They should. :) This will help them stay nice and moist.

11. Allow them to cool completely and then cut into bars, or eat them warm from the pan...whatever suits your fancy.

thanks for stopping by, have a great week and Remember to Find the time to Do ALL the thing YOU L♥ve.
