Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter until mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
- Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan to form the base.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate fudge mixture evenly over the oat base.
- Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top of the fudge layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Use quick oats if you prefer a finer texture, but rolled oats provide more chewiness.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the oat mixture.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These bars can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
