I’m super jetlagged, so needed something simple and this fit the bill, plus…Oreos! Yum! These bars are soft, but not gooey or fall-apart-y.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 15 Oreos, chopped
- A handful of whatever type of chocolate chips you’re trying to use up, optional

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8×8″ pan with nonstick foil.
Whisk the butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl.
Stir in the egg and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continuing to stir until evenly combined.
Fold in the Oreos.
Turn the mixture out into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Top with some chocolate chips, if desired, then bake 25 minutes or until the bars pass the toothpick test.
Cool in the pan, then slice and serve.
