Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Method
 

  1. Stir the oats, salt, and chocolate chips together in a large bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the honey, brown sugar, and vanilla until dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the warm mixture over the oats and add the egg white. Fold quickly until every flake is coated.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan using the bottom of a glass.
  5. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are deep golden and the center feels set.
  6. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then lift out and slice into 10 bars.

Notes

Press the bars down hard before baking—that’s what keeps them from falling apart when you cut. Let them cool completely if you need the cleanest slices for a lunchbox, but they taste best while the chocolate is still a little soft.
