3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/4 cups Brown Sugar (lightly Packed)

1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper (make sure paper hangs over two sides of the pan) and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and brown sugar.

4
Add the buttermilk and stir to combine.
5
Fold in the chocolate chips.
6
Pour the batter into the lined pan and smooth it out.
7
Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the squares are golden brown.
8
Remove from oven.
9
Allow to cool in the pan then lift it out of the pan with the parchment paper handles and slice into squares.
10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.

Notes: If you dont have oat flour, you can easily make it by grinding regular oats in a food processor for a couple minutes.
12
Just be sure to measure the flour after grinding, not before.
13
If you want these to be even healthier, you can omit the chocolate chips, or replace them with raisins.
14
My kids loved these with raisins, even though they werent as sweet.
15
The buttermilk can be subbed with regular milk if you dont have any.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
