Equipment

  • 11x15 baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups rolled oats sometimes called old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tablets butter 3/4 cup, softened
  • 3/4 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips optional: substitute raisins for chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet with butter and dust with flour.
  • In a bowl, mix together all ingredients except the chocolate chips. You may need to use your hands to ensure everything is well combined.
  • Once the mixture is combined, gently fold in the chocolate chips. Note: the mixture will be sticky, and that’s okay.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. This requires some patience due to the sticky texture.
  • Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until golden and set.
  • Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
