These Chewy Chocolate Oat Bars are a delightful treat, combining the richness of chocolate with the wholesome texture of oats.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, and oats.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and oil until well combined.
Whisking helps to emulsify the ingredients for a smoother batter.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Press the mixture evenly into an ungreased 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
Use a spatula or your hands to ensure an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Check for doneness by observing the edges turning golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool slightly in the pan before cutting into squares.
Cooling helps the bars set, making them easier to cut.
