Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Fudge Layer:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the oatmeal base: Cream together butter and brown sugar, then mix in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix well.
- Layer the bars: Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the pan. Make the fudge layer by melting condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter. Spread fudge over the oat base, then crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
- Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Cool before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Enhance the chocolate flavor by adding 1 tablespoon of espresso powder to the fudge layer.
- Store bars at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
