Amish Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars
These bars are amazing! They are so moist and chewy and full of chocolate chip goodness. They are also very easy and quick to make.
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs

Notes
I substitute pure cane sugar for white sugar in all my recipes. It works the same and is healthier for you.
You can substitute the butter and just use oil, and you can also add some chopped pecans for extra texture and flavor.
If you won't get these bars eaten within a few days, freeze some for later. Then remove from the freezer to thaw about 30 minutes before you want to eat them.
Do not overbake. If they are baked too long, they will be drier.
