How To Make Choc Chip Oat Bars
This is a one-bowl recipe, which makes them even easier to make. They are made with just a few pantry-staple ingredients, so you can make them anytime.
- Oats – Rolled oats also known as old fashioned oats. The texture with rolled oats is better as compared to using instant oats.
- Flour – Plain Flour and Self Raising flour.
- Desiccated Coconut
- Egg – at room temperature.
- Melted Butter – unsalted butter
- Chocolate Chips – milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. You can also combine a little bit of both.
This recipe is very flexible you can add dried apricots, dates, cranberries, sultanas or your favourite nuts.
Simply mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. No mixer required just a wooden spoon or spatula would do. Spread the dough on baking tray Use a spatula to flatten the dough and ensure that its all even so it results in even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and then cut the bars. I cut the in rectangular bars, you can cut them in squares too. Bake it again for 20-25 minutes untill they golden brown.
I use 30 cm x 20 cm x 2.5 cm pan this makes an oat slice that’s 1.5 cm thick. I wont recommend using a pan bigger than this as the bars will be thinner and will break apart easily.
