Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Jeans Bars!
