chocolate oatmeal cookie bars
this might be my new favorite dessert recipe on the site. i’m serious!
i made them last night for dinner with friends, and almost the entire pan was gone
in minutes. and, i may or may not be eating the little piece that was left right now at 9 AM…
in other words, this is a good recipe and you should probably make it A.S.A.P.
my mother-in-law makes this recipe all the time and it is SO good, but it had so much
butter that i always felt like i was taking days off my life when eating it. well, last
night i made it with coconut oil and changed up some ingredients, and it still tastes
the same but is 10x healthier! this is a perfect dessert to take to a party, or to make
at home and eat the entire pan yourself :) enjoy!
- 3/4 cup coconut oil {you can use butter if you don’t have coconut oil}
- 1.5 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 7/8 cup flour (i know this measurement is random, but i experimented with all different amounts and this was perfect. basically just do a little less than 2 cups :)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil {can use butter}
- 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk {7 ounces}
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
melt above ingredients together on stove or on microwave, just until melted. do not boil!
YUM!!!! I will definitely have to try these. :)
Yum yes.

Made these tonight and they are FANTASTIC!!! Everyone in our family loves them. Thanks for a winner recipe! I recently discovered your blog through Money Saving Mom’s link to your coconut chocolate chip cookie recipe–I made those a few days ago, and they were also wonderful. Thanks for the great recipes!
I’m so glad! They are dangerously good. So happy you’ve liked the recipes you’ve tried! PS- if you have leftovers from this recipe, heat them up in the microwave for a sec and top with ice cream…yum! xo
Hey emi-
I’m making these tonight and was wondering if it matters what kind of oats you put in them? Do they need to be quick cooking oats or what? Thanks!! So excited to try these!
hi! yum..jealous you’ll be having these tonight! you can use either–we use regular, but it only changes how big the oats are– quick oats will be smaller pieces and make the texture a little lighter! hope you enjoy them! xo
