Limitless Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
A one bowl, 5 minute preparation, for a fun, kid-friendly dessert with limitless possibilities.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (depending on texture preferences either leave whole or blend into flour)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1/3 cup almond butter or nut butter of choice
- 1/3 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (you may need an additional tablespoon at the end)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (use non-dairy if vegan)
- 1/2 cup chocolate candies (such as M&Ms or non-dairy candies of choice)
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels, other mix in, or additional chocolate candies
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl except for chocolate candies. I always start with 1/3 cup of non-dairy milk and add an extra 1-2 tbsp if needed.
- Place batter in an oiled baking pan.
- Press chocolate candies evenly across the top of the batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 30 minutes until cake tester comes out clean and tops are golden brown. Since ovens vary, I like to start checking the bars at 20 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting. We like to store any leftovers in the freezer.
Notes
Note: have fun with the mix in options. You need about 4 cups total. Other mix in options are dried fruit, puffed rice cereal, coconut flakes, or nuts.
