I have never been a fan of oatmeal as a meal and don’t get me started on overnight oats haha, just not my thing, but I do love baking with oats and I wanted to create a tasty oatmeal bar that would make a great grab and go breakfast. These oatmeal chocolate chip squares are for one, HUGE and taste so good, the chocolate chips are just enough to make them feel like a decadent treat! The recipe is simple to make with ingredients you likely have in the cupboard already, makes 9 large squares at 5 smart points each on WW freestyle.

  1. I baked these for my husband , he likes them because they are not overly sweet . And because of that , he thinks that he can have one before breakfast with his coffee .
    Thank you for your hard work in running this site . When will you be sending out new recipe emails again ? I miss them .

      Hi Robin, I am so glad he enjoys them 🙂 I’m sorry I have not sorted out the email subscription yet, I plan to have it all sorted by the end of the summer .. just not sure which route to take is all

  2. Looking forward to trying this oatmeal square recipe. I like that your recipes use “normal” ingredients that I usually have on hand.

      Thanks Karen, me too 🙂 not into fake ingredients nor is my tummy!

      • I made the oatmeal chocolate chip squares. They are absolutely delish! I cut them and wrapped individually and froze so I can have whenever. Thanks for the great recipe!

            I am making these for the 3rd time this month already. I eat one square every afternoon and it keeps me full until dinner. I was eating the chocolate chip Bobo’s but I’m getting ingredients I know, better taste and the same points!

  3. I will be making these tonight or tomorrow. I slowly scrolled down the ingredient list and breathed a sigh of relief because there was NO banana in the recipe- can’t stand those things! Thank you for simple recipes.

      Haha! You are not alone, I personally love banana’s but a lot don’t so I always make sure I have plenty of recipes without them 🙂 Hope you enjoy them!

    I loved these! I’m not a huge chocolate fan, so the small amount of mini chocolate chips was perfect. I wonder if I could substitute blueberries or chopped apples.

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Karen, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂 Yes I think you could add in the fruit, for blueberries I’d suggest maybe frozen wild ones as they are smaller, large fresh ones might result in messy squares

  5. Can I use self rising flour instead of regular flour? If so, would I just use 1/2 tsp of baking powder instead of 2 tsp? Thanks!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Yes you can, and yes 1/2-1 tsp of baking powder should be fine

    could you make theses with raisens as I don`t like the chips

  7. Do you think subbing almond flour would work for this recipe? Or oat flour (even though there’s already oats in it!)?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, I know almond flour bakes differently so I am not too sure, all I can suggest is to give it a go and see

  8. These are so good! I will definitely be making them frequently and will enjoy as a breakfast treat. I started WW around 2 months ago and just miss muffins and other baked things with my coffee:) Your recipes are so awesome. Thank you!

      Hi Charlene, thank you 🙂 I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the recipes, good luck on your journey!

  9. So I made these today, I used almond milk instead and added some peanut butter. My family loved it but said it could be a bit sweeter. I was wondering what can I put? Thank you

      Hi Michelle, that all depends on if you are trying to keep the points the same, if not feel free to add in a bit more brown sugar, I keep it low to keep the points low, you could use a sugar replacement as well, I just avoid them as they don’t agree with me .. glad you all enjoyed them none the less 🙂

      Hi, I’m not sure it will rise as a loaf would, you could try but I think it will be too flat.
