Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly incorporate the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and evenly spread it out with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the bars are baking, prepare the tres leches mixture by whisking together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a bowl.

Step 8

Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the bars, being sure to reach the edges.

Step 9

Slowly pour the tres leches mixture evenly over the top of the bars, allowing it to soak in. Let the bars rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 10

Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top of the bars for a creamy finish. Optionally, sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.

Step 11

Cut into 12 squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Oatmeal Tres Leches Bars!
