Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips if using.

Baking

  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  • Let cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
