How to Make Microwave Chocolate Chip Bars
- Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Grease an 8-inch square microwave-safe dish. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top.
- Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rotate the dish a quarter turn. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, rotating after each interval, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (about 1-3 additional minutes, total microwave time 8-10 minutes).
- Let the bars cool completely in the dish before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
