  • Mix choco chips into the wet batter. (Before combining dry ingredients take 1 teaspoon of the flour. Choco chips should be rubbed with this flour. This helps choco chips not to sink in wet batter.)
  • Preheat the oven at 180 C.

  • Allow pan to cool down completely and then cut the squares.

Notes

Tips 
  1. Add cocoa powder if you like chocolate flavor.
  2. I used 1:1 quantity of rolled oats and oat's powder.  Both ingredients can be used as a full quantity.
  3. Avoid peanut butter drizzling in case you do not like peanut butter. I avoid it now.
  4. With oats, these bars are denser. Let them cool down completely before cutting.
  5. Make sure to add rolled oats as they give chewy and dense texture.
