INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9″x 13″x 2″ baking pan.
Combine the flour, oats, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter, and mix with a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingers until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be crumbly but should hold together when pinched.
Reserve 1 cup of the oat mixture for the topping.
Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake 15 minutes.
Top the partially baked crust with the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Spread evenly over the top of the crust.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top of the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips and hazelnuts over the top of the bars. Lightly press the toppings into the spread.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are browned. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
