01
Step 1
Start by warming your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until it’s nice and smooth. Then, beat in the eggs along with the vanilla and almond extracts until everything is well combined. In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, sliced almonds, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir just until it comes together.

Step 2
Spread about two-thirds of this oat mixture evenly into a 10x15-inch baking pan with edges. Next, melt the chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring now and then until it’s all smooth and melted—this should take around five minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the remaining vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 3
Pour the chocolate mixture over the oat base in the pan, spreading it out gently. Then dollop the rest of the oat batter on top, spreading it as best you can. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let it cool before cutting into bars and enjoying!
