Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut Bars
These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut Bars are soft and chewy with a big chocolate flavor. The addition of walnuts adds a little crunch to these buttery treats.
I always buy Old Fashioned Oats at the grocery store. You can easily make quick oats, which is what this recipe calls for, using Old Fashioned Oats.
Place the amount of Old Fashioned Oats you’ll need for the recipe in a food processor, pulse until the oats are broken down into smaller pieces. Voila, quick oats!
I love recipes like this, they’re so easy to adapt. If you like, you can use a combination of baking chip flavors in the bars. The recipe uses 2 cups of chocolate chips.
You could use one cup of chocolate chips and substitute the other one cup of chips for… one cup of peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips. You can also use any nut you have on hand instead of walnuts.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut Bar- A delicious combination of oats, butter, chocolate chips and walnuts in a tender chewy bar. Enjoy!

Hi, can I use instant oats?
Not instant doreen. I’m guessing you mean the instant oatmeal in the packets. Quick oats in the big oatmeal container, not the packets sweetie.
Everyone loved them!
