Ingredients
- 2 cups Oats
- 1-¼ cup Flour
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¾ cups Butterscotch Chips
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Browned And Cooled
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 cup Walnuts, Chopped
- ½ teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Milk, For Drizzle
- ¼ cups Butterscotch Chips, For Drizzle
Preparation
In a medium saucepan or skillet, heat over medium heat and brown butter. Allow to cool slightly – or place in fridge unti the butter sets, about 20 minutes. Prepare other ingredients while cooling.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non stick spray, then line with parchment paper, and spray again with non stick spray to adhere to the bottom of the pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla, and brown sugar. Pour in the flour/oat mixture and combine. Add in butterscotch chips, and chopped walnuts.
Pour mixture into the baking dish, press in to evenly distribute through the dish. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs on it. When done, set on a cooling rack.
For glaze, in a microwave safe bowl or cup, melt together remaining butterscotch chips, brown sugar, and milk. Heat in increments to ensure the butterscotch chips do not scorch. Stir to form a glaze. Drizzle over the top of the cooling bars. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cool completely, then slice and serve.
