1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted |
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
2 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/4 cup milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |

Directions:

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt & butter, beating on low speed until blended.
