Chocolate Oat Blondies

Midge_'s Note:

White chocolate chips with wholewheat flour and oats make a lovely chewy caramel-like bar. White flour could be used instead of wholewheat, and brown sugar substituted for the raw sugar.

I really want to give these 5 stars, because I love them! Unfortunately, my boyfriend wasn't a huge fan. Oatmeal desserts don't go over that well (yet...) in Germany. I thought they were delicious, but I don't want to make anything where I "have to" eat the whole thing by myself :) Maybe I'll make a half recipe next time. I used white chocolate chunks and added about 1/4 tsp salt. I baked them in a large pie plate and they turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipe.

Wonderful dessert. I love the ingredients, especially since I bake everything with whole wheat pastry flour. Will make again, already a favourite.

These were really good for being whole wheat. I used dark chocolate chunks and some white chips. My favorite part was the middle because it wasn't all the way done so they were nice and gooey!
