Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup butter, at room temperature

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine 1 cup butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs in a large bowl. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Mix oats, flour, and baking soda together in another large bowl. Slowly add to butter mixture. Mix using an electric mixer until well combined.

Step 4

Spread 3/4 of the oat mixture in an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan. Press lightly into the bottom of the pan to make surface even.

Step 5

Combine chocolate chips, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining 1/3 cup butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour chocolate mixture over oatmeal base, spreading evenly.

Step 6

Drop tablespoons of the remaining 1/4 oatmeal mixture over chocolate. Press oatmeal down lightly to flatten and swirl into chocolate.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until top is light brown, 25 to 30 minutes (chocolate should still be moist). Cool completely on a wire rack, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares.
