FOR THE OATMEAL MIXTURE:
2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
3 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
2 cups Light Brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
FOR THE FUDGE LAYER:
1 can (14 Oz. Size) Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1/4 teaspoons Fine Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and greasing it with butter along the sides. Make sure paper hangs over two ends of the pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and oats. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until everything comes together. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing along the way with a wooden spoon or spatula until incorporated. Keep mixing until everything is evenly combined.
3
Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the dough mixture and set it aside. Place the remaining dough in the prepared pan and press over the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
4
For the fudge layer: In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water), combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter and salt . Stir occasionally until the mixture is warm and the chocolate chips and butter are melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
5
Pour the warm fudge over the oat mixture in your prepared pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Crumble the remaining oat mixture and scatter it evenly over the top of the fudge.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the chocolate layer is starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool completely. Cut into bars and serve.

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.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
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.
