My Recipe
Preheat the Oven
Β In the first step we have to preheat the oven at 350Β°F (175Β°C). Preheating oven ensures an even baking process, allowing the bars to cook perfectly without burning. During the process of preheating you have to prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by either lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter or oil. This step is vital because it prevents the bars from sticking and makes it easier to remove them once baked.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
Now take a medium sized bowl for mixing dry ingredients. Add 1 cup all purpose flour,1 cup of rolled oats,1/2tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix all the ingredients well and set this bowl aside.
Prepare the Wet Mixture
Now take another bowl and mix 1/2 cup of softened butter,1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Mix all the ingredients well with the help of electric beater or you can whisk it .Beat all the ingredients until it becomes light and fluffy.By introducing air into the batter, this process softens the bars.After mixing the ingredients its time to add egg and vanilla extract .The egg acts as a binder and vanilla extract adds flavour in the oatmeal bars. mix them well so that no lumps should left and the texture becomes fluffy and creamy.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Now its time to combine both the wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Mix them with the help of spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix them as this can make the bars too dense. When the batter becomes smooth fold in 3/4 of chocolate chip. you can store a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on the top for an extra touch of flavour.
Transfer the Batter and Bake
Using a spatula, evenly distribute the batter after pouring it into the baking dish. For even baking, make sure the surface is flat. The dish should be baked for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, in a preheated oven. Place a toothpick in the middle of the bars to test for doneness; if it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, the bars are done. Bake for a further two to three minutes if the batter still clings to the toothpick.
Cool and Slice the Bars
After the bars are perfectly baked, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool in the baking dish for ten to fifteen minutes. They become thicker when cooled, which makes slicing them easier and prevents crumbling. Depending on your preference, cut the bars into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife once they have cooled. Allow them to cool fully for a firmer texture, or serve warm for a gooey, chocolatey experience.
