These are a super quick, easy and yummy treat! I make these all the time when we need a treat in a hurry. Everyone always loves them! This recipe was introduced to me from Melanie at My Kitchen Cafe. Thanks so much!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars
submitted by Melanie
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
12 ounces chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375. Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. Beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla till fluffy and add dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chunks and walnuts. Press into a greased 9x13 inch pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until light golden brown.
I have never used a 9x13. I have been baking these in a stoneware jelly roll pan (smaller than the common stainless steel cookie sheet). I only bake them for 15 minutes. You could double it and bake them in a regular cookie sheet.
Don't overbake!!!
These look yummy! I have been following your blog for a couple of months and I just love it! I gave you an award on my blog last Thursday and forgot to tell you about it! http://karaskitchencreations.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteDELISH!! I love cookie bars!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love these, who I'm I kidding I'd probably eat 1/2 the pan before the got home from school!!
ReplyDeleteDAMN incredible looking bars and I love how easy they are - They would last about a minute in this house!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am probably the only person who looks at them first thing in the morning and am tempted to make them for breakfast. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! This recipe will be in heavy rotation. Thanks so much for all you share on this site!!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, These were so good and so easy! I just used half a pkg of choc chips, and they were perfect! I brought them to YW tonight and they were a hit. There were leftovers in the pan when I left but when I came home, they had been all eaten, so I think we can safely assume that Jed loved them too. :) Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteThese were super easy and soooo delicious! I added a cup of chopped walnuts and oh my my! Will definately be making these again!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom has made these twice now and they are the END of me...I'm eating tomato soup and salads to save up the calories for these bad boys. Chopped walnuts, chocolate, oatmeal?? AUGH soooo good. I think she doubles the batch but smashes it all into one pan because they are HUGE. I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. I get rave reviews when I make them!
ReplyDeleteFabulous. I was looking for a treat to send with my son on a trip abroad and, since airline food is dismal or nonexistent, thought these would fill the bill. Big hit! I added toasted, salted walnuts (it brings out the flavor to toast them first) and dried cranberries. Next time I'll experiment using half whole wheat flour. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I am missing something. The directions call for walnuts but the recipe itself has no mention and much less the amount. How much?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I'm hoping to make these delicious bars tomorrow for a baby shower- BUT I have one question- is it cooked oatmeal or oats? I have regular oats- do I cook or leave raw? thank you!
