Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

Step	Description
1	In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed for 3 minutes, until well combined and smooth. 🥣
2	Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter. 🍫
3	Spread the batter evenly into an 8-inch glass dish or microwave-safe container. Make sure to smooth the top with a spatula for even cooking. 🍮
4	Cover the dish with waxed paper to prevent splattering and microwave on high for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks dry. If your microwave doesn’t have a rotating turntable, remember to rotate the dish a quarter turn halfway through the cooking time for even baking. ⏰
5	Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the microwave and peel off the waxed paper. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top of the hot cake. Allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes, or until they begin to melt. 🍩
6	Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cake to create a rich, chocolatey glaze. 🍬
7	Let the cake cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares. Serve warm for a gooey, indulgent dessert, or let it cool completely for a firmer texture. Enjoy! 🎉
