Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups quick oats
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Stir in the quick oats, walnuts (if using), chocolate chips, and shredded coconut (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing slightly to ensure an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, cut into 16 squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
