Ingredients
 

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (16 Tablespoons, 1 cup, softened)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 3 cups rolled oats (not quick)
  • 2 - 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips ( and other mix ins)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.

  • Add the eggs, beating after each addition, until the mixture is light and creamy.

  • Bake for 33-38 minutes, or until edges are set, color is golden brown, and centers no longer look wet.

Notes

  • Baked oatmeal bars can be wrapped individually in saran wrap and frozen OR bake the bars in a parchment sling, remove from the pan, and freeze the entire slab double wrapped in saran wrap. Thaw overnight at room temperature. For more tips, check out how to freeze cookies.
  • This recipe can easily be halved and baked in an 8 or 9 inch square pan. Reduce the baking time to 24-28 minutes.
