Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare an 8-inch square cake pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, salt, and baking soda until cohesive.
  3. Press more than half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small pot over low heat, combine Nutella and heavy cream, whisking until smooth.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the baked base, then pour the Nutella filling on top.
  6. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the Nutella layer evenly.
  7. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until edges are browned and set.
  8. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  9. Slice into squares and serve slightly warm or store in an airtight container.
