Jumble Nut Bars


I got bit by the cooking bug again, and have been doing some recipe testing.  Here is the first one I want to share.

1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter - room temperature
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/3 c. molasses
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. chopped walnuts
1 c. chopped almonds (I chose to not use slivered to add more of a textured bar)
1 - 12 oz. package mixed chocolate chips (white and milk were used in this recipe)
2 c. AP flour
3 c. quick cook oats

cream butter and sugar.
add eggs, molasses, vanilla, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  mix well
fold in nuts and chocolate chips
add oatmeal and flour, stirring until ingredients are combined and wet.

preheat oven to 350
prep a 9X13 pan with foil/parchment and release spray.
place dough into pan and press to ensure flat top 
(I sprayed my hand with release spray so the dough would not stick)
bake in oven for 30 minutes
remove from oven and allow to cool for an hour before removing from pan
bars are best cut once cooled, yet delicious when warm  #enjoy
