Chocolate Goodies – Made with Spelt and Oats {Wheat Free}

These Chocolate Goodies are to-die-for! My wheat-free husband inhaled an entire pan of these things in two days (okay, I may have helped a little). Chewy on the bottom, crunchy on the top, and an incredibly rich layer of creamy chocolate in the middle, these quick-to-make squares are bound to be a staple in your home too.

Ingredients:

Crust and topping:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups freshly ground spelt flour
• 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt

Chocolate filling:

• 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Cream first amount of butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla in bowl.

Grind spelt kernels into flour.

Add flour, oats, baking soda, and salt to creamed mixture. Mix. Press 2/3 of oat mixture into a greased 9×9 inch pan.

Melt chocolate filling ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat. Spread over oat layer.

Drop remaining rolled oat mixture in little dabs over top. Spread as best you can. Don’t be concerned if a few spaces aren’t covered.

Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes. Cool. Cut into 36 squares and try not to eat them all in one sitting.
