Ingredients
1
stick
salted butter,
softened
¾
cup
sugar
1
large
egg
½
teaspoon
vanilla extract
¾
cup
flour
¾
cup
Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1
teaspoon
baking powder
1
generous pinch
kosher salt
½
cup
dried cherries,
chopped
½
cup
dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" x 8" baking pan and line with parchment making sure extra comes up over the sides. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in dried cherries and chocolate chips until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan. This is a batter that is more sticky (and less liquid-y).
Bake on the center rack for 30-35 minutes or until golden. Once cooled, remove the bar in one piece and cut into 2 inch bars.
