  • Total Time: 38 minutes
  • Yield: 24 Bars

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ Cups Old-Fashioned Oats
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Flavoring

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
  2. Mix Together Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly mix all the dry components.
  3. Add in the Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted unsalted butter, add eggs, and vanilla flavoring into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a fully combined, uniform batter.
  4. Add the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  5. Bake: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the bars turn a light golden color and are set in the center.
  6. Sprinkle with Salt, Cool and Slice: Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle the top with coarse sea salt. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 24 squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to let the bars cool fully before slicing to achieve clean cuts.
  • Optional: Use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
