1/2 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 C old fashioned oats 2 ½ C old fashioned oats

1 1/4 C butter, melted 1 ¼ C butter, melted
2 eggs 2 eggs
1 Tb vanilla 1 Tb vanilla
2 1/2 C milk chocolate chips 2 ½ C milk chocolate chips

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Into your stand mixer or large mixing bowl place 2 C flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp cinnamon. Toss them together with a fork to combine.
3. Grab 2 ½ cups Old Fashioned Oats and add them to the mixing bowl.
4. Add 1 ½ C brown sugar and toss everything together to mix.
5. Melt 1 ¼ C butter and pour it into the bowl. Mix for one minute.
6. Add 2 eggs and 1 Tb vanilla.
7. Mix until the dough has combined. It will be crumbly.
8. Add 2 ½ C chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate, but semi sweet, butterscotch or cinnamon chips would also be fabulous. Mix the chips in.
9. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and press the dough into it.
10. Bake for 20 minutes. Stick a butter knife or toothpick into the center. When it comes out clean the bars are done. Don't worry if they look a little bit underdone. They should. :) This will help them stay nice and moist.
11. Allow them to cool completely and then cut into bars, or eat them warm from the pan...whatever suits your fancy.
