Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup butter
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet; toast until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove nuts from baking sheet, and reserve.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan placed over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar; cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and oatmeal. Press mixture into an 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and set, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle chocolate chips over surface; let chocolate sit until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread chocolate evenly over oatmeal squares. Sprinkle warm chocolate with toasted almonds. Cut into squares when cool.

These oatmeal squares are so easy to make and they're delicious! I love that they're made with whole wheat flour and oats, so they're a healthy snack option. I also like that they're not too sweet, so I can enjoy them without feeling guilty.
