Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well to break up any clumps of sugar.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl or on a stovetop, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the melted butter and the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the baking soda and salt until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly dispersed in the batter.

Step 8

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Step 11

Once cool, cut the bars into desired sizes and enjoy.
