Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars

Rich butterscotch chips and a terrific oatmeal texture combine to make these Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars different from any other cookies or bars I’ve had before now.

I made these bars for the first time over 6 years ago. I took them to an event with friends and they were the fastest thing devoured. Several recipe requests came along with that, so I published the recipe as quickly as possible.

If anyone in your life enjoys butterscotch, I guarantee that they will find these Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars irresistible.

These Chocolate Covered Butterscotch Squares look completely irresistible and Butterscotch Hot Cocoa Mix is basically what winter dreams are made of.


If the weather is still warm where you are, maybe this Butterscotch Blended Iced Coffee will hit the spot. Last but not least, this Creamy Butterscotch Pie needs to be on my Thanksgiving table this year.

Ingredients
Bar Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

Glaze Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, letting the foil hang over the each short edge by one or two inches. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.
2. Whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt and then set aside. Place the 3/4 cup butterscotch chips in a large bowl. Pour the hot melted butter over the butterscotch chips and whisk together until the chips are melted and smooth. Add the brown sugar and whisk until combined. Add in the egg and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture, just until incorporated.
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread the batter evenly to the edges. Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, this was about 16 minutes.
