Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Let it cool slightly before proceeding.

Step 3

Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the quick-cooking oats, ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the batter.

Step 7

Gently fold in the semisweet and white chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top, if desired.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top if you've reserved any.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).

Step 10

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.

Step 11

Cut into 16 equal squares and serve. Enjoy your Double Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
