Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in short bursts, stirring in between until completely smooth.

Step 3

Stir the brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix.

Step 4

Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs, then whisk them into the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.

Step 7

Add the rolled oats and butterscotch chips, folding them into the batter evenly.

Step 8

Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan and cut into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
