INGREDIENT NOTES
Rolled oats
- Use rolled oats and start with a chewy base. Quick oats will soften the bars, but rolled oats produce the best bite.
Whole flour
- This gives a slightly nutty depth, but with the lightness of the recipe being preserved. It also beefs up fiber without making too much of a difference in the flavor department.
Baking soda
- A little quantity makes the bars rise a bit and remain dry. Do not omit this; otherwise, the texture will be dense.
Smart spread
- Wants to retain the richness, but minimize fat. See that it is softened so that it can be mixed with the sugar to a cream.
Eggs
- Combine the mixture, and it aids in structure. To mix more smoothly, work with eggs at room temperature.
Vanilla extract:
- Warning: the oat crust deepens the chocolate filling. This is best done with pure vanilla.
Chocolate chips:
- These melt into a less sugary, creamy layer. It is possible to use regular chips, but they add points.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Set the oven setting to 175°C (350°F). Use paper made from parchment to cover a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Blend these items in a bowl like flour, oats, and salt.
- Brown sugar & softened butter should be beaten till smooth in a separate basin.
- Mix in the eggs & vanilla till well combined.
- Add the dry oat mixture and whisk until completely blended.
- Evenly press about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking dish.
- The filling is made by melting chocolate chips, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of butter substitute in a saucepan over low heat.
- Blend until smooth. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the layer of oats.
- Top the chocolate layer with spoon fulls of the leftover oat dough.
- Bake till the top is golden brown, within twenty-five minutes.
- After allowing the bars to cool on a rack in the pan, remove them by lifting the parchment.
- Serve after cutting into 16 equal squares.
TIPS
- To create the bars, do not make them too dry by overbaking.
- Chill and cut to regular, even squares.
- Add nuts in pieces to give more bite if you wish.
- Store in an airtight receptacle to make them last longer.
STORAGE INFORMATION

- Bars can be kept for no less than five days in a sealed box. Chilling makes the texture fudgier.
Freezer:
- For a period of two months, wrap each bar in plastic wrap and keep it in a freezer bag. Before eating, must cool down it at room temperature.
