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

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Combine oats, flour, and baking soda in a separate large bowl; slowly beat into butter mixture with an electric mixer until well combined.

Step 5

Spread ¾ oat mixture into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan; press lightly to even out crust.

Step 6

Combine chocolate chips, condensed milk, remaining ⅓ cup butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-low heat; heat and stir until chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour chocolate mixture over oatmeal crust, spreading evenly.

Step 7

Drop tablespoons of remaining ¼ oatmeal mixture over chocolate; press down lightly to flatten and swirl oatmeal mixture into chocolate.
