WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Chewy Texture. These bars are think and chewy.

Easy to Make. This recipe uses simple ingredients and is made using just one bowl.

Amazing flavour. If you're a fan of oatmeal cookies than you'll love the taste of these bars. They're not overly sweet and have just the right amount of chocolate.

Step By Step Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and lining your square baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl beat butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, this usually takes a good 3-4 minutes.

Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mixing till well combined.

In the same bowl you can now add in the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Be sure all ingredients are mixed well together.

Stir in the flour. Mix in the rolled oats. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour dough into the lined baking pan and spread evenly in the pan. I find using your hands works best. Top with a few extra chocolate chips.

Baking for 27 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the middle only has a slight jiggle to it.

Let bars fully cool to room temperature in the pan before removing and slicing.

WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?

Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.

STORING THE Bars

Store bars at room temperature in an airtight container. They keep for 4 days after baking.

Can I use Quick Oats?

No, for this recipe you need to use rolled oats (also called old fashioned oats). Quick oats will change the texture of the bar.

Bake them on your own or bake them with your kids, either way I’m sure you’ll love with these oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bars!
