- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Parchment Paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats not steel-cut or quick oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cookie butter or Biscoff spread
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet or dark, depending on preference
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Cream together the unsalted butter and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned oats, baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the cookie butter and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is set.
- Remove from oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Lift bars out using parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Ensure butter and sugar are creamed well for the best texture.
- Use old-fashioned oats for chewy bars; avoid quick or steel-cut oats.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
