Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup butter, melted

  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 baking dish.

  • In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, cocoa powder, and brown sugar.

  • Stir in melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until just combined.
