Soft and chewy oatmeal chocolate chunk cookie bars for a healthy and delicious dessert. Perfectly under-baked for a fudgy texture, these cookie bars are studded with chewy oats and melty chocolate chunks in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup natural almond butter
- 1 cup coconut sugar packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1, 3 oz bar milk chocolate rough chopped (divided)
Instructions
- Line a 8”x8” pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir together until smooth.
- Add in rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon until cookie dough ingredients are evenly combined.
- Add in ½ of the chopped chocolate bar and stir again.
- Add cookie dough to the parchment-lined 8"x8" pan and spread in an even layer with a spatula or your hands. Top with the remaining half of the chopped chocolate bar.
- Move to the oven and bake at 350F for 18-22 minutes (mine took 19 minutes) or until golden brown on top and edges have started to pull away from the sides. You want to make sure not to overbake these for a gooey texture!
- Let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into 9 slices. Enjoy!
Notes
I used a bar of Theo milk chocolate, feel free to substitute dark chocolate to keep the recipe dairy-free.
