Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Sift in the flour and baking soda. Mixing gently with a wooden spoon, stir in the oats, 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips, and the salt.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp. Remove from the oven and use a spatula to spread the remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the bars to create a chocolate glaze. Let cool completely in the pan and then cut into bars.
