Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups butter
Filling:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Melt butter completely.
- Press 2/3 of this mixture into a greased (I also like using parchment paper) 9×13 pan and bake at 325ºF for 10 minutes. When done, allow it to cool.
- Set remaining 1/3 of crust aside for topping.
- While crust is baking, melt butter for filling in a saucepan.
- Repeat for milk, vanilla, and flour, adding each one separately.
- Bring to a slow boil for about 3 minutes until it begins to thicken. Be sure to stir continuously.
- Remove from heat.
- When crust is cool to the touch, pour caramel filling on it.
- Sprinkle remaining crust mixture over top.
- Bake at 300ºF for an additional 20 minutes.
- Bars will appear a bit runny but will firm up when cool.
Mix butter with oatmeal, flour, and brown sugar.
Stir in brown sugar until smooth. (about 1 minute)
