Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter (at room temperature)
¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chunks (divided)
1 cup chocolate chips (divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish then lightly dust it with flour.
  • Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Add the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt and stir until mostly mixed using a wooden spoon. Add ¾ cup of both the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips and stir until they are mixed into the batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the baking dish and gently press the top down so that it is smooth. Top with the reserved ¼ cup of both the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes if using a 9x13 inch pan or 25-30 minutes if using a 9x9 inch pan. The edges should be golden and the center not wiggly if you shake the pan. Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
