Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars
Chocolate chip oatmeal bars are soft, chewy bars made with oats, oat flour, maple syrup, and plenty of chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- Fold in the old fashioned oats and chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges look lightly golden.
- Let cool completely, then slice into bars.

Notes
- Do not over mix: Stir just until combined so the bars stay soft and chewy.
- Press batter evenly: Smoothing the top helps the bars bake evenly and slice cleanly.
- Watch the bake time: Pull them when the center is set since overbaking can make oat bars dry.
- Cool before slicing: Let the bars cool completely so they firm up and do not crumble.
- Add chips on top: Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a prettier finish.
