Equipment

  • 8" x 8" Pan

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cup butter soften
  • cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 2 eggs
  • tbsp honey
  • ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut optional
  • 3 cups Old Fashioned Whole Grain Oats
  • ½ cup chocolate chips bittersweet chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Line a 9"x 9" pan with parchment. Make sure to leave extra on the sides so you can pull out the bars with the parchment.
  • Cream butter and sugar together.
  • Add brown sugar, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and flour. Mix well.
  • Add oats and mix with hands until well blended.
  • Take half the dough and place it n the bottom of your lined pan. Pat down the down so it is evenly distributed.
  • Sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips over the dough.
  • Add the rest of the dough on top of the chocolate. I pat out the dough like a thick pancake and then place it down in the pan. You can also place dollops on the chocolate and then pat-down. Either technique works.
  • Top with extra chocolate chips.
  • Bake in the oven for 40 minutes until light brown.
  • Let the pan cool for about 20 minutes. Then pull out the bars (with parchment) and let cool on a baking rack for a couple of hours before cutting.
