Golden Gate Bars Recipe
The Golden Gate Bars Recipe is one of my favorite sweet treats. I make it when I want comfort. These bars are rich, chewy and full of warm flavors.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Brown sugar: 1 cup
- Unsalted butter melted: ½ cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder: ½ teaspoon
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon
- Chopped walnuts: ½ cup
- Chocolate chips: ½ cup
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Turn your oven to 350°F. Line your baking pan with parchment paper. This helps easy removal later.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- Add melted butter and brown sugar to a bowl. Stir well until smooth and shiny.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Crack eggs into the bowl. Add vanilla extract. Mix gently until everything looks combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, baking powder and salt. Stir slowly to avoid lumps in the batter.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Add chocolate chips to the batter. Mix gently so they spread evenly everywhere.
Add Walnuts
- Pour chopped walnuts into the bowl. Stir lightly for crunch in every bite.
Pour into Pan
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Spread evenly using a spoon or spatula.
Bake the Bars
- Place pan in the oven. Bake for thirty minutes until edges look golden brown.
Cool Completely
- Remove pan from oven. Let bars cool fully before cutting into squares.
Slice and Serve
- Cut into twelve neat bars. Serve with tea, coffee or milk.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate chips for richer flavor.
- Skip nuts if you prefer smooth bars.
- Add coconut flakes for extra texture.
- Use parchment paper for clean slices.
- Chill bars before cutting for neat edges.
