Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla, eggs and melted butter; mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread batter in prepared baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes. Bars should be slightly underdone. Remove from oven.
Cool before frosting.
Browned Butter Frosting:
In a small saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until golden brown and golden brown flecks appear. Butter will become a little foamy. Stir occasionally so that butter cooks evenly.
Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and Half-n-Half; stir until a smooth. Spread onto cooled bars.
*Start with about 4T. Half-n-Half, adding more as needed.
