Oatmeal Fudge Bars

unsalted butter, room temperature

sugar

brown sugar, packed

vanilla extract

egg, room temperature

old fashioned oats

all purpose flour

chocolate chips

unsalted butter

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8&#215;8&#8243; square pan with parchment paper on all sides. Set aside.

In a stand mixer fit with paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until completely combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined.

Scrape down the bowl and divide the oatmeal cookie dough in half. Press half of the dough into an even layer into your prepared pan and set the other.

Make the fudge layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips and butter. Whisk together until completely smooth. Take off the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract. The mixture will be glossy and thick.

Spread the fudge mixture over the oatmeal cookie layer using an offset spatula or a spoon. Crumble the remain cookie dough over the fudge mixture, leaving some areas of fudge uncovered.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the oatmeal bars are light golden brown. Allow to cool completely before slicing into 16 bars and serving.

I will make a double batch for my 9x13 pan ! I will also use dark chocolate chips! Great recipe!

These are the ONE - I made a double batch and froze half as a gift to my current self. The ratio of cookie to filling is perfect - I did refrigerate both cookie dough and filling for about 1 hour before assembling and baking as the dough was very soft (my butter was really soft) and I didn’t want the filling to seep through.  I had no problems with this with the cooled dough and filling and had nicely defined layers. The dough was also a bit tricky to spread in the pan but just needed some patience and perseverance!  I’m now wondering what else I can put this filling in...

Omg these are amazing! I just made these and truly the best baked good i have ever made!! I have celiac and subbed gf flour blend for the flour and they turned out so well!

Would this recipe work if the oats were grinded into a flour? Or left out altogether? I made this recipe and I really liked it but I am not a big fan of chewy raw oats in my food.
