Ma' REBEL BARS (2 ways)

I was out of town when my bakery class demo this but  had a copy of this recipe from my classmate. This recipe has two ways in baking, one using chocolate chips and the other by using a cocoa powder which is more cheaper than the first one.  Just recently I tried the cocoa recipe but share with you how they differ.

3 cup quick cooking oats

1 cup butter

2 eggs

Procedure

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. 

In a large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into butter mixture. 

In a medium saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk and cocoa or chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tbsp. butter, walnuts and 2 teaspoons vanilla. 

Pat 3/4 of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread chocolate mixture evenly and crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in preheated oven. Let cool on a wire rack, then cut into bars.
