# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Warm up your oven to 350°F. Put parchment in an 8-inch pan or coat it with oil so nothing sticks.

Throw all your stuff in a bowl and stir it up good. Spread this mix flat in your ready pan.

Scatter chocolate bits or whatever goodies you like on top. Pop it in for 20 minutes. When time's up, don't peek! Just switch the oven off and leave it sitting in there another 5 minutes.

Let it cool down a bit before cutting into pieces. You can keep extras in your fridge for about 4 days or stick them in the freezer for a couple months.
