Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter and peanut butter until well blended.
  4. Add both brown sugar and granulated sugar to the mixture and beat until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until combined.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  7. Pour in the milk to loosen the batter slightly and mix until just incorporated.
  8. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  9. Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown, then check for doneness with a toothpick.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Allow bars to cool completely before cutting; this prevents crumbling. Mix only until combined to avoid dense bars.
