Oat Chocolate Bars (Print)
Enjoy chewy oat bars layered with chocolate and caramel. Perfect for anytime you want a sweet, satisfying treat.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1½ cups caramel sauce.
02 -
½ tsp salt.
03 -
1½ cups unsalted butter, melted.
04 -
½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
05 -
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats.
06 -
2 cups all-purpose flour.
07 -
1½ cups brown sugar, packed.
08 -
1 tsp baking soda.
09 -
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan, then line it with some parchment paper to make lifting it out easy.
02 -
Combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, salt, and baking soda in a big bowl.
03 -
Pour in the melted butter and stir until you get a crumbly texture.
04 -
Firmly press half of the crumb mixture into the pan you prepared earlier. Bake it for about 10 minutes, or until it's just starting to turn golden.
05 -
With the crust baked, scatter the chocolate chips and pecans (optional) across the surface. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the top, spreading it out smoothly.
06 -
Take the rest of the oat mixture and sprinkle it over the caramel layer. Press it down lightly to help it stick together.
07 -
Put the pan back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. It’s ready when the top turns golden, and the caramel starts bubbling along the edges.
08 -
Let it cool all the way down before slicing it into squares and enjoying.
# Notes:
01 -
These caramel bars pack layers of gooey caramel, chocolate, and a crumbly oat crust in every bite.
02 -
Make sure to let them cool completely so the caramel sets nicely and doesn't run out when you cut them.
