Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (at room temperature)
• ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chunks (divided)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (divided)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish then lightly dust it with flour.

2. 2

   Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined.

4. 4

   Add the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt and stir until mostly mixed using a wooden spoon. Add ¾ cup of both the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips and stir until they are mixed into the batter.

5. 5

   Transfer the batter to the baking dish and gently press the top down so that it is smooth. Top with the reserved ¼ cup of both the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Bake for 20-25 minutes if using a 9x13 inch pan or 25-30 minutes if using a 9x9 inch pan. The edges should be golden and the center not wiggly if you shake the pan. Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
