Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 9 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
- Nonpareils, for decorating (optional)
- 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons malted milk powder (original or vanilla flavor)
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the parchment. Whisk the flour, oats, malted milk powder, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the white chocolate, then return to the oven until the chocolate softens, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate into a smooth layer. Top with nonpareils. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, then lift out of the pan using the parchment; cut into squares.

Reviews
All the flavors meld together so well here. I myself added latte powder instead of milk powder, & the subtle flavor of coffee really goes well with the other spices! I’d totally make this again & again!
I actually omitted the white chocolate on top and opted for a simple dusting of powdered sugar. Delicious!
I make these every year for christmas and they are always a big hit!
A friend made these for a party today, and they were a hit with everyone. Really delicious!
Great Chai taste to complement the holiday season. Used sugar sprinkles on top. I would add a little more salt to cut the overly sweetness that the icing gives.
Couldn’t wait to make these as soon as I saw them!! Amazing chai flavor!! Will definitely be a repeat in my kitchen!!!!
These are terrific! Very easy to make – I could probably eat the whole pan myself…..very nice chai flavor. Will be adding these to my make again list.
I made these for a holiday party. Huge success! I used a 6×9 inch pyrex. Still cooked it at 350 for 25 minutes and used milk chocolate instead of white chocolate to spread on the top layer. They are packed with chai flavor!
